Youth Empowerment is as strong as the community that holds it up. Together, we can do more than we can alone.

Your contribution helps Youth Empowerment mentor vulnerable populations, reduce recidivism, build resiliency and advocate for systems transformations that will make the communities we all share safer and healthier.

When you donate to Youth Empowerment, you are supporting programs that help justice-involved youth and adults change the trajectory of their lives.

 
 

Become a Community Champion for Youth Empowerment

 

Youth Empowerment’s Community Champions are donors who sign up to make an automatic monthly donation of any amount. These donors are often called “sustaining donors,” because their automatic monthly gifts sustain a nonprofit by helping them plan for the future.

SPECIAL ADDED VALUE: In 2022, the first 22 donors who sign up to become a Community Champion at the $30 level (at least) will receive the Youth Empowerment branded baseball cap. 



Community Champions guarantee funds will be available to help others when needed. 

In addition to feeling good about your commitment to help others, becoming a Community Champion assures the following benefits:

  • The opportunity to visit one Trauma Informed Care Code of Conduct training session free of charge. (Monthly gift of $100 or more.)

  • Special recognition on the Youth Empowerment website.

  • Special verbal recognition at all Youth Empowerment events.

  • A beautiful Community Champion certificate, suitable for framing!

When you click on the “Donate” button to make a gift, choose the “Recurring Gift” option. We’ll follow up with you and make sure you receive all your benefits.

Give a little every month. Get a free hat! Join Community Champions today!
