At Friends of Youth, we deeply appreciate the invaluable support of our community. Your contributions, whether they're holiday gifts, monetary donations, volunteer work, active engagement, or advocacy efforts, make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve. We encourage you to explore the following opportunities to get involved in the upcoming months!
Give
Create your own friend-raising page! Check out our friend-raising platform, here. Here you can customize your own page to share with your friends to help friends of youth raise money this spring. Every dollar donated goes directly to helping young people in the community. No donation is too small (they all make your thermometer go up). We have some special thank-you surprises for people who participate!
Donate your time! Work with your community to host a donation drive to get needed supplies to our young people. Email our volunteer coordinator at volunteer@friendsofyouth.org to learn how you can get involved.
Learn
RSVP to one of our Celebration of Youth events that features a panel of community leaders and experts who will present on our foster care and homeless youth services.
Act
One of the most powerful forms of support is actively exercising your civil rights.
