Virtual Pig Roast 2021
Executive Director Kirsten McDaniel launches the 2021 Pig Roast Fundraiser with a message to our supporters.
Youthentity Changes Lives
Each day during the Pig Roast Fundraiser we will release new Youthentity videos recorded with past students, parents and supporters, each detailing how Youthentity’s programs have touched their lives.
Each year Youthentity sets aggressive goals for our programs.
We know the power they have to change lives. Year after year we see our students explore their futures, finding their strengths and channeling interests into creating a stable future with a foundation of financial literacy.
This year is no different.
Next year Youthentity will bring 24 more students into the fold with our new Career Academy class, Human and Animal Care & Occupations. Our financial literacy education program, I am Financial Knowledge, served 70 schools in 2021-22, doubled its school districts, and grew by 82% in students served.
With your help, our programs will teach kids to think differently about personal finances. Students will have the opportunity to explore career paths while learning their dreams CAN become a reality, leading to stable, successful futures.
This summer's fundraising goal is to reach $35,000 in donations to make our program outreach goals possible. Please consider a gift to Youthentity's programs and its students. We hope you'll listen to our alumni's stories of how Youthentity has changed their lives, and understand how much your gift can help.
