Dear Friends,
This time of year, we are deeply thankful for the honor of serving youth and families who inspire us every day with their resilience, perseverance and achievements, even in the face of extreme challenges.
We are equally grateful for you—friends and allies whose support ensures neighbors receive the right help at the right time, empowering them to thrive and not only believe in a brighter future, but realize that future.
In 2024, donors helped over 13,000 youth and families determined to overcome obstacles related to trauma, poverty and language isolation. This includes youth who began the school year with a fragile connection to school such as not feeling accepted, safe or close to an adult at school. Nearly 60% of them reported feeling more connected to their school and education after participating in our programs.
