$5,000 goal
Impacting generational change by empowering youth who are facing the greatest obstacles through relationships with professional mentors, 12+ years, no matter what!
This spring, help us raise $5,000 to support youth living their fullest lives.
Funds support weekly youth activities; every week, each youth in our program receives four hours of customized mentorship time, including two hours in the classroom and two hours in the community. Activities are custom-made for each youth and can look like a nature walk in the park, visiting museums, socializing in community spaces, and more. Outings support each youth's developmental stage and promote core assets such as belonging, perserverance, and self management.
Funding supports mentor salaries and youth budgets to ensure they make independent and balanced choices every week. This consistency is the cornerstone of our work, and proven to break cycles of poverty. Your support makes it possible. Thank you!
