3. Inspire Through Exposure — Site Visits & Campus Tours
Exposure changes lives. Through Site-Visits & Campus Tours, we provide youth with real-world experiences that open doors to what's possible beyond high school. These powerful visits help young people explore college campuses, professional work environments, and other learning opportunities that fuel their vision for a brighter future. It's not just a tour — it’s a spark of inspiration that can change a life’s direction.
Equip a Student
Your $25 donation helps provide essential school supplies, snacks, and learning materials for one youth participating in our empowerment workshops. It's a small amount that makes a big difference in a student's day-to-day learning experience.
Open New Horizons
With $50, you can help cover the transportation costs for a young person to attend a life-changing Site-Visit or Campus Tour. These experiences expose them to new possibilities, encouraging higher education and professional aspirations.
Amplify Young Voices
A gift of $100 supports our Youth Podcast Program by providing equipment, software, and training needed for young people to share their stories, ideas, and creativity with the world. You're giving them the tools to be heard.
