Check out all the ways you can support YAP by going to yapinc.org/donate. Did you know that YAP supports global partners in Australia Life Without Barriers, Guatemala, Youth Advocate Programmes Ireland, and Sierra Leone? YAP’s sister agency in Guatemala, Siembra Bien has used youth sports to prevent violence and keep kids engaged in school, but we need your help to keep these vital programs running. By fostering positive relationships and building resilience through sports, we’re helping youth break the cycle of violence and create brighter futures. YAP gives communities safer, more effective alternatives to youth incarceration and other out-of-home placements. Your generosity makes a world of difference.

Tomorrow is GIVING TUESDAY! Two Nonprofits Making a Difference in San Antonio: Why You Should Support Them San Antonio is home to some truly incredible organizations that are changing lives and strengthening our community.

Their mission is to equip people with the tools to overcome life’s challenges and achieve personal growth.

Have you ever felt like something was missing from you life? Perhaps you’ve recently realized you are so engrossed in your life and how well you are doing you missed seeing how someone close to you was struggling. Or maybe you have a teenager and are remembering how hard it was growing into the person you are today. If anyone of this resonates considering volunteering and giving back to your community. #volunteer #community #givingback #supportingyouth #youthempowerment #youthleadership #mentoring

The Power of Giving Back to the Community Giving back to the community is more than just an act of kindness—it is a powerful way to foster connection, create impact, and inspire growth in ourselves and those around us. At its core, giving back reflects a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility for the environment and people who have contributed to our journey. Why Giving Back Matters Building Stronger Communities Every contribution, whether big or small, strengthens the fabric of society. Volunteer efforts, donations, or simply offering time and skills can address critical needs, empower marginalized groups, and create opportunities for development. Fostering Unity and Connection Giving back fosters collaboration and understanding, bridging gaps between people from diverse backgrounds. It promotes shared goals and builds trust within the community. Creating a Ripple Effect Acts of generosity often inspire others to pay it forward, creating a cycle of goodwill and positive impact. This ripple effect can lead to lasting societal changes and improvements in collective well-being.

Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now is more than a theme for International Human Rights Day; it’s a call to action. For street children, basic human rights—like shelter, education, and protection—are not privileges. They are necessities that pave the way for a better tomorrow. Yet, millions of children remain vulnerable, their rights forgotten. We are committed to fighting for their future. By empowering these children, we’re building stronger, more equitable communities. But we can’t do this alone. Here’s how you can help: Donate to support our initiatives. Volunteer your time and skills. Advocate for their rights in your circles. Partner with us to make a real difference. Together, we can ensure that every child is seen, valued, and protected. #sccwi #streetchildren #educationforall #supportstreetchildren #everychildmatters #humanrights #internationalhumanrightsday

To Those in Connecticut and Beyond: I joined the board of For All Ages earlier this year. We’re a non-profit organization that helps to combat loneliness here in Connecticut by connecting generations through events and conversation. In particular, there are some wonderful programs pairing college students (identified as the most vulnerable to loneliness) with seniors (ditto). There is a 24-hour “Give Local” fundraising effort currently taking place and organizations that have the largest number of individual donors (not amounts, but people) will earn extra money for their orgs. To that end, I’m looking for 20 friends willing to make a $10 donation today or tomorrow (by end of day 4/25) and generally spreading the word of the good work of this organization run by the tireless Deb Bibbins, JD, MBA. I don’t often make these requests but I do often step up for others who ask. Will you support our efforts to combat loneliness? If so, you may use the link below to make a $10 donation. You do not need to be based in Connecticut to support. For anyone struggling with loneliness, know that you are not alone. Joining and volunteering for organizations such as these is one way to meet like-minded people and feel connected. https://lnkd.in/eweabQNg #storytelling #whatsyourstory #dogood #notforprofit #combattingloneliness #fundraiser
