How to Get Involved
As a volunteer-based organization, Courage for Youth
is always on the lookout for dedicated, passionate volunteers and
youth mentors. And though we are a not-for-profit organization,
financial needs still exist in the areas of promotion, training,
and administration.
There are numerous ways you can support and contribute
to Courage for Youth.
Volunteer
Are you passionate about helping create a safe, healthy
culture for young people? Do you have time and talent you can contribute
to support Courage for Youth? Opportunities for volunteers are diverse
and include: leaders, mentors, facilitators, trainers, administrators,
organizers, fund raisers, promoters, office support workers, writers,
bookkeepers ...

newsletter, plus updates on upcoming events and programs.

Contributor
Another way to support Courage for Youth is through
financial contributions. The donations of private donors, foundations,
and service groups help fund our program initiatives. You can make
a general contribution, or apply your donation to a specific program
or to sponsor participants in a specific program.
Corporate Sponsor
Corporations provide significant financial support
to Courage for Youth through our corporate sponsorship program.
In addition to the satisfaction of supporting a worthy cause, sponsorship
offers tax advantages and the opportunity to have your company logo
and a link to your web site on the Courage for Youth web site.

... children and youth require specific instruction and support
from parents, teachers and other responsible adults to learn new
cognitive, emotional and social skills. In addition to receiving
the basic necessities of life (food, water, shelter and physical
safety), children also need love, trust, hope, autonomy, confidence
in their abilities and an opportunity to contribute meaningfully
to the world. How parents, teachers and other caregivers perceive
and interact with children and youth will ultimately determine
whether their innate resilience will be promoted or may be destroyed."
("The Seven Keys to Resiliency: Empowerment for the 21st
Century," Chris B. Rush, Resiliency Institute Corp.)
