Thank you for supporting and championing youth and communities by being champions for the Positive Alternative Recreation Teambuilding Impact (PARTI) Program and our Youth - Civic Action for Racial and Social Equity Project. As PARTI begins to shift our activities to empower youth as they return back to school and transforming lives of youth who suffer from bullying, trauma and depression this fall through our Annual Bullying Prevention Event (Oct.20), we are mindful that youth, families, and communities will need additional support understanding the ramifications of the new and recent Affirmative Action decisions in our Country (USA). PARTI understands that we could not have the impact that we have in underserved communities, so we must first take the time to thank you for those who contribute to our mission and share with youth the results of our 3rd quarter and previous GlobalGiving Campaign:
Results of April Little By Little Campaign (April 2-7 2023): Total Raised - $40,296, # of donors: 528
Purpose: create opportunities to build youth power in communities affected by the negative impact of Covid-19.
Impact April- June 2023
Total number of youth empowered to lead: 198
Youth summer jobs created: 5
Total number of adults who have served: 81
Schools represented: 20
Total: 807
Please consider supporting this campaign to empower and impact youth as we begin to celebrate youth and communities as they return back to school and our programs, activities, and events to keep youth, stop bullies, and affirm the value of every voice, as we all navigate through the aftermath of our country’s Affirmative Action decisions that will affect our vulnerable youth and communities. Please consider to participate or invite your network, company, or others in the GlobalGiving July Bonus 1 day campaign on Wednesday, July 12th, to support youth when they return to school.
