Support Youth Revive on NTX Day!

As someone deeply invested in the future of our community, 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 important 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

Our staple program, Ignite Me, is at the heart of this mission. Ignite Me provides a comprehensive framework for civic character education that goes beyond the classroom, reaching students in both in-school and out-of-school settings. Through this program, students gain civic knowledge, develop civic motivation, and cultivate the dispositions and skills they need to engage in civic life. But more than that, Ignite Me helps students see themselves as valuable members of their community who can effect real change.

I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the incredible impact of our programs firsthand. I’ve seen students who once felt disconnected and disempowered find their voice through the opportunities provided by Youth Revive. I’ve seen them take on leadership roles in their schools and communities, driven by a newfound sense of purpose and responsibility. These are young people who are not just learning about the world around them—they’re learning how to shape it for the better.

How Your Support Makes an Impact

This North Texas Giving Day, I’m reaching out to friends, family, and colleagues 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.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward our programs, ensuring that we can continue to offer high-quality, impactful education to the youth who need it most.

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 to my fundraiser because I know how much of an impact your contribution can have. Whether you can give a little or a lot, your support is invaluable—and it’s a powerful way to invest in the future of our community.

But 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. By spreading the word, you can help us reach our goal and empower even more 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 with me. Your support means the world to me, to Youth Revive, and to the countless students whose lives you’re helping to change.
