$5,000 Goal

The Wright Cause Urban Youth Conservation (TWCUYC) primarily supports urban youth between the age of 10 – 35. TWCUYC has been established to cater to the needs of underserved youth in our focus areas. We are committed to everyone needing help, leadership, and excellence under the tutelage and leadership of a determined and united staff team.


TWCUYC is no stranger to the communities we serve. Many of our staff and volunteers are Credible Messengers. A Credible Messenger is an accepted member of a community who works to aid and influence others in the community, usually intended to reduce violence. At TWCUYC, we know what it's like to be underserved, under-resourced, and in survival mode. Many of us grew up in dysfunctional homes, high-crime neighborhoods, and with a negative path paved for us. Our goal is to help create a positive environment for our youth to THRIVE.

Giving Activity

Mission

Our mission is to embolden marginalized communities through housing stability, education, community engagement, and advocacy. By providing critical support and resources, we aim to uplift those impacted by systemic barriers and give them the tools to lead resilient lives.

At The Wright Cause Urban Youth Conservation (TWCUYC), we envision a world where individuals from marginalized communities thrive through opportunities that promote housing stability, education, and advocacy. Our programs are designed to dismantle barriers and create pathways for sustained empowerment and community engagement.

Needs

The Resilience Rising program, specifically tailored to individuals living with or impacted by HIV, is a cornerstone of our efforts to foster growth and opportunity. To continue this impactful work, we aim to transform our existing garage space into a fully functional classroom. This classroom will serve as a dedicated space for educational workshops, job readiness training, and life skills coaching.

To make this transformation possible, we need:

• Renovation materials to ensure the space is comfortable and equipped for learning.

• Technology such as computers and smartboards for hands-on training and digital literacy.

• Furniture and supplies to create an engaging and supportive learning environment.

Your support in this endeavor will help us expand our ability to serve the community and provide a safe space for personal and professional development.

Equity Statement

At TWCUYC, a diverse, inclusive, and equitable environment is one where all employees, clients, donors, board members, and volunteers, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education, or disability, feel valued and respected. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach and provide equal employment and advancement opportunities in all our departments, programs, and worksites. We respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard.

We’re committed to modeling diversity and inclusion for the entire nonprofit sector and maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment.
