The rooms that made it happen.
We do the homework up front. Then it's their call.
Before a dollar moves, every youth organization goes through our review: we interview the leaders and look closely at their work and their plans. Once they're funded, they know their young people best, so the grant is theirs to use. Here's what our youth organizations have put it toward:
- Mental health and suicide prevention
- Housing for youth with nowhere to go
- Trans youth support
- LGBTQ+ friendly healthcare
- Safer schools
- Mentoring and first jobs
- Affirming foster care
- Queer youth of color
