Dear Friends,
It gives us tremendous pride to announce the public phase of Identity’s Transformational Campaign to support ambitious growth and innovation to increase our impact, meet our infrastructure needs and guarantee our viability in the event of a crisis.
We are acting now to ensure Identity has the resources to serve more youth and families with excellence for years to come. This means asking you to invest in scaling our most effective programs, innovating new programs in response to emerging concerns and opportunities and building a home and community center that offers easy access to support and a sense of belonging for all. Join us in this transformational moment!

We have reached a milestone in our evolution. Over 25 years, we have helped tens of thousands of underserved youth and families thrive in school and at work. Now, we assist 10,000+ clients directly with life-changing services benefiting 50,000 residents annually. Because Latinos are the fastest growing demographic not only in the United States but also right here in Montgomery County, an investment in Identity is an investment in our collective well-being.

Now is the time to make a gift so together we can continue to break down barriers to achievement and connection and to nurture hope. Every donation makes a difference.

Join other friends of Identity in giving to ensure all youth and families in our community have the right support at the right time so that everyone thrives.
Put simply, the Transformational Campaign is about realizing our shared goal of creating a more just, equitable and inclusive community. With your help we can - and will - grow our capacity to transform lives. Click here to request more information.
Con gratitud,

“Identity helped me to open my mind and to connect with people…. Identity is sticking with me, and I will be sticking with Identity all the way.”
-Fernando, Workforce Development Program Participant
“I wonder where kids like me who don’t have their mothers or fathers here would be without Identity. Thanks to Identity, I am where I am. I am going to college!”
-Elan, High School Program Participant
“If it wasn’t for Identity, I’d probably be hanging around my old friends, trying to find a place to stay at night. Instead, I have a job that I love and a real future.”
-Yasser, Youth Opportunity Center and Workforce Development program participant
“They believed in me and taught me to believe in myself.”
-Lidice, Mental Health program participant
“We can't wait for Identity to open its building so that hundreds of families like mine also have the opportunity to get the life they’ve been longing for in this wonderful country. “

Like an extended family, Identity is there when and where the community needs us. At schools, in the community and on playing fields, we teach and model for Latino and other historically underserved youth and families the social-emotional, academic, workforce and life skills they need to succeed in the modern world.
Like family, we celebrate their victories and offer help when something extra is needed.
