Donations and Funding
We rely heavily on the generosity of donors, both individuals and foundations. Our top priority for small donations is to support local older youth interns working with younger kids while being mentored by our adult staff. Over the years we’ve seen this natural interaction to be highly effective on multiple levels. The more interns we have, the more kids we can handle at our programs.
If you’d like more information about any aspect of our programs or our organization, please feel free to contact us. If you feel you know enough, please click the donate button.
