  3. Donate Items (new or gently used)
  4. Support an Event (become a sponsor)
  5. Shop to Give (Amazon Smile)
  6. Donate Land or Buildings
  7. Matching Gifts (with your employer)



Why Should You Donate?

Giving to a nonprofit organization is a connection. We work hard to attract donors who believe in what we do. We strive for transparency and are proud of the stories and the impact we have in our community. The individuals we help keep us moving forward and help us to create inspiration for our future events. 

You help others.

By contributing to the right organization you are helping to make the world a better place.  When you give your time, money, resources, and expertise you are helping to change a life for the better.  When giving back to your community, you are showing kindness to others and setting the example. Every person who donates is making one small step towards changing the world. 

You are a superhero.

Being able to help other members of your community and seeing the impact on those people makes your heart grow and you feel unstoppable. The act of giving and helping others by volunteering your time improves your personal well-being. Giving to charity can give you a sense of purpose, improve your self-worth and inner satisfaction. 

You become informed.

You should always research an organization you are considering donating to, to determine if their mission aligns with your beliefs. This also gives you the opportunity to educate yourself on the social injustices they advocate for and expose yourself to new perspectives on topics you previously knew nothing about. Ultimately, this will fuel your desire to make a difference, giving you a sense of purpose in life, while contributing to creating solutions for a better world.

You fuel your passion.

Finding a cause that is close to your heart, gives you the opportunity to fuel your passion for helping while doing something you love. Not only do you feel needed but you make others feel human.

You can reap social, physical, mental, and spiritual benefits.

Donating your time to charity gives you the opportunity to expand your social circle and build relationships with like-minded individuals. By donating something physical you are improving your health creating a healthier lifestyle. Mental and spiritual advantages are also triggered by giving of oneself.

Donating is tax deductible.

Did you know that your donation is tax deductible? Its not just the money you give, but also any expenses relating to the organization including  travel, parking, convention or event fees that are associated with the charity, as long as you are not being reimbursed by the non-profit for those expenses!

Advocates

An advocate is anyone who adds that voice by representing another person in court, or by supporting or working toward a particular course of action and arguing in support of another's cause. 

Advocate

The world is often seen through rose-colored glasses, and the answers are simple. However, unless you have lived experiences with hardships or disparities, you really don't know what your neighbor may be going through.


If you are committed to making a difference then you are on you're way to being an advocate! The power of Voices of Our Youth is in the stories of the people we meet during our outreach events which ignite the passion in our volunteers to demand change. We use our social media platforms to fuel this fire and grab the attention of others on the same mission and the decision-makers.


Our volunteers can help us strengthen Voices of Our Youth's mission through social media, in our local communities, and by interacting with legislators and decision-makers to make a policy change.

Our Impact

We work to put a face to the social problems of our community. No matter what your connection is, your story allows us to share your experiences and educate others in our community about the realities of poverty that our neighbors face every day.


By putting a face on the social problems within our community we are humanizing them. By sharing the stories of the youth, individuals, and families we serve, it is our hope to bring to light the realities of poverty and give hope to our neighbors who may be facing the same disparities every day.

Coming Soon!
