When you donate, you don’t only join our cause, you directly support children and families in your community. No matter how small or large the amount, donating helps make a difference in the lives of young people around you.

Donating makes sense

National and local studies show that children who have role models are more likely to improve in school and in their relationships with family and friends, and less likely to skip school or use illegal drugs or alcohol. Students who are successful in school are less likely to drop out, abuse drugs or commit crimes. In fact, our youth program was proven successful in a three-year independent study conducted by the University of Oregon’s Institute on Violence and Destructive Behavior.

Your support makes a difference

Your financial support helps keep our programs going and services in your community—so we can develop more college grads, community leaders and entrepreneurs.
