Youth Supports
Children and youth require a nurturing environment to get a great start in life, do well in school, and reach their full potential. Through mentoring, sports, arts programs, and educational workshops, your support ensures that children and youth have the resources they need to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

Why We Need You
Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, confident, and supported – but not all have access to what they need. Increased stress at home, lack of safe spaces, and limited mental health support are putting more kids at risk of falling behind, both emotionally and academically. Without early intervention, these challenges can follow them into adulthood. With your support, we can build stronger foundations for kids to grow, learn, and reach their full potential.
In our communities, 1 in 6 youth live with mood or anxiety disorders, and 46% of high schoolers report poor or fair mental health.
