DONORS

Become a Donor of
Youth Empowerment

Our donors are invaluable to the Empowering Minds charity. They are the driving force that allows youth to access our teen leadership programs and learn and develop accountability, integrity and courage. Our donors don’t merely fund programs; they fund long-term results. We believe in the power of our curriculum to change the lives of teens. Our training penetrates the core of many social issues, giving students the confidence to lead and better preparing them to combat today’s most difficult developmental problems, including bullying and peer pressure. Become a donor and become an integral part of societal change. Together, we can impact the lives of many who will, in turn, go on to impact the lives of hundreds. It’s been said that you can count the seeds in an apple, but you can’t count the apples that come from a seed. Becoming a donor of our teen leadership program works the same way!
