YOUTH OPPORTUNITY

Helping young people realize their full potential
WHY IT MATTERS
The first six years of a child's life are critical for brain and emotional development. Families, caregivers, and communities play a crucial role; however, there are gaps in the opportunities and resources available to support early childhood development. By investing in our youth, we help kids build strong foundations in literacy, confidence, and life skills - creating brighter futures for them and our community.

GOAL:
Connect 1,000 or more ALICE + poverty young people* with programs designed to support their development by 2030.
*ages 0-18 years of age
