I'm Raising Money for Youth Revive!

As someone deeply invested in the future of our communities, I’m proud to be involved with Youth Revive, a nonprofit organization that is making a transformative impact in the lives of young people. On September 19th, 2024, we’re participating in North Texas Giving Day with an ambitious goal to raise $30,000 to launch our program school year—and I’m inviting you to join me in this effort.

Why This Matters to Me Personally

At Youth Revive, we’re passionate about closing the civic empowerment gap for youth in low-income communities. Our mission is to ensure that every young person has the opportunity to grow into a character-driven citizen who is equipped to rebuild, reconnect, and revive their community. This isn’t just about education; it’s about empowering the next generation to become active, informed leaders.

With our main program, Ignite Me, young people gain civic knowledge, develop a high motivation to participate in their communities to keep them vibrant as ever, and cultivate the skills they need to advocate for themselves and others arounds them. But more than that, I see Ignite Me as a program that helps students see themselves as valuable members of their community, ones that have power and influence in effecting real change.

I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the impact of our programs firsthand. I saw  students who sat shy in a corner, students that didn’t care to listen, to those that spoke at every turn, and I’ve also seen them take on leadership roles in their schools, I’ve seen them become engaged in dialoguing about issues impacting their lives, I’ve seen them wanting to take action.

How Your Support Makes an Impact

This North Texas Giving Day, I’m reaching out to YOU because I know that together, we can make a significant impact. The $30,000 we aim to raise will directly support the expansion of our programs, allowing us to reach even more students and ensure that they have the resources they need to succeed.

Here’s how your contribution can make a difference:

• $25 can provide a student with the materials needed to participate in a community action project.
• $50 can sponsor a student’s participation in an educational field trip.
• $100 can fund a session of the Ignite Me program for an entire classroom.
• $250 can support a seed grant for students to implement their community action project.
• $500 can support the development of new curriculum materials to reach more students.

Why I’m Asking for Your Help

This cause is incredibly important to me, and I believe that with your support, we can make a real difference. I’m asking you to consider donating because I know how much of an impact your contribution can have. Beyond the financial contribution, I’m also asking you to share this cause with others. The more people who know about Youth Revive and our mission, the greater our impact will be in empowering young people to take charge of their futures.

Let’s Make North Texas Giving Day Unforgettable

I believe in the potential of every student we serve, and I believe in the power of community. Together, we can help these amazing kids realize their potential and make a lasting difference in their lives—and in the world. Thank you for being a part of this journey.
