"Invest Today. Change Tomorrow." Fundraising Campaign

YELLS invites our supporters to invest in the youth and families who are investing in our shared community.

In a world that feels uncertain, YELLS sees something powerful.

We see young people rising.

At YELLS, youth are discovering their voices, stepping into leadership, and creating real change in their communities, right now.

YELLS is resolved to keep this work moving forward in a time of deep funding cuts. The current funding climate has been a challenge for nonprofits, and YELLS is no exception. Historically, YELLS has received significant support form federal sources, yet we’ve lost approximately $180,000 from federal funders, and even more from donors impacted by the current landscape.

We need donors like you to help YELLS raise $150,000 to fill the gap while we work to diversify funding and build long-term sustainability. Your support will fund essential program operating costs to help YELLS continue to empower youth and transform communities.

While this presents an urgent need, it also offers an opportunity for our supporters to rally together to uplift our work and invest in the youth and families who are leading as changemakers in our shared community.

It takes us all working together to make a true difference! Whether you’re an individual champion or a business looking to invest in youth and community solutions, there’s a place for you in transformational change.
