BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Family Support and Advocacy initiatives are a vital component of our youth programs, designed to uplift youth and their families through a holistic, community-centered approach. By fostering strong family engagement and empowering youth voices, we aim to create a supportive environment where both caregivers and young people can reach their full potential.
Through accessible resources such as workshops, counseling, and peer support, families are equipped to navigate challenges and build resilience. Simultaneously, youth are encouraged to lead advocacy efforts that promote equitable access to education, health, and mental wellness—while inspiring their peers to make positive lifestyle choices and seek support when needed.
