Your Donation
Makes The Difference

A charitable investment in YouthFriends is an investment in possibility.

How Your Gift Can Help
General support helps YouthFriends reach tens of thousands of local students each year, providing them with opportunities that lead to better grades, increased ability to deal with peers and adults, greater rates of high school graduation and higher aspirations for the future. This support is critical to expanding training and resources for mentors, assisting with volunteer screening costs and ultimately ensuring that mentors are placed where they are needed.

A gift to YouthFriends endowment will help ensure the long-term success of YouthFriends programming. Because endowment gifts generate earnings each year, they play a critical role in YouthFriends long-term financial stability.
