Celebration of Youth
Thanks to our community we raised $503,117 during our month-long Celebration of Youth!
We want to thank our sponsors, challenge match donors, and our community for attending the events and making this the most successful Celebration of Youth yet!
Friends of Youth welcomes, honors, and celebrates our clients, colleagues and communities’ diverse identities, histories, knowledges, languages, and cultures. Our organizational values shape the way we work individually and collectively, as we prioritize young people’s belonging and achievement. We work to challenge, alter, and ultimately dismantle interconnected systems of structural and historic oppression. We collaborate with community stakeholders and partners to develop policy and decision-making frameworks that advance racial equity.
