Project Title: The Resplendent Project
Project Description:

The Resplendent Project is a transformative 8-week intensive program, aiming to equip girls and women aged 13 to 45 with the skills and conviction needed to emerge as principled leaders in their schools, workplaces, and communities throughout Kentucky. This initiative goes beyond traditional educational frameworks, providing a holistic approach that encompasses life skills, exposure, personal and career development, and mentorship.
At its core, The Resplendent Project strives to facilitate the journey of Black women and girls towards success and leadership in both their personal and professional lives. The program recognizes the multifaceted nature of empowerment and endeavors to build a comprehensive foundation for its participants.
Central to the project’s success is the creation of a safe and supportive community of like-minded peers. This intentional community fosters an environment that encourages freedom of exploration, vulnerability, and sustained growth beyond the program’s duration. By establishing a network of support, The Resplendent Project ensures that the impact of the program extends well into the future.
Notably, the initiative places a strong emphasis on confidence-building and network development. By addressing self-esteem and cultivating a belief in oneself, young women are better positioned to embrace leadership opportunities with confidence and persistence. The Resplendent Project envisions a world where Black women and girls are not only empowered but also uplifted and recognized as equal partners in society.
Ultimately, by curating the elevation of Black women and girls, The Resplendent Project contributes valuable leaders to Kentucky, enhancing both business and community building. As participants embrace their potential and develop a sense of self-worth, the effects extend far beyond the individual, creating a positive impact on the broader community and fostering a vision of equality and empowerment for all.

Project Title: Art for All
Project Description:

Our initiative, "Art for All," allows our organization to support underserved/transient youth in Charlotte. On several occasions, we plan to provide Charlotte’s underserved/transient youth with arts enrichment starter kits in an effort to spark or revive creativity. The starter kits provide a hands-on experience for youth to express themselves in ways they have not been able to in a long time, if ever. The ultimate hope is for youth to find, or hone, their craft during a time when more creativity is needed in the world. The funds will be used to create arts enrichment kits for youth and to facilitate arts expression workshops. A vast majority of the funds will specifically be dedicated to purchasing items to go into the kits. Items include, but are not limited to writing notebooks, writing utensils, enrichment books, sketch pads, paint, canvas, paint brushes, etc. Youth will have the opportunity to choose which kits inspire them. In conjunction with the distribution of kits, youth will potentially have the opportunity to participate in mini arts expressions workshops in which they will utilize their kits and explore their art of choice using other resources. Following these arts education workshops, there will be time for youth to build community through art, discussion and sharing a meal.

Project Title: IFS Youth Mentorship Initiative
Project Description:

I Care Family Services is a Child Placing agency in the state of Georgia which trains and equips quality foster homes to care for children who have experienced trauma, abuse, and neglect. Our organization is requesting financial support for a new youth mentorship program that will focus on the training and equipment of basic life skills for youth ages 0-21. This exciting initiative will not only train youth in life skills but will provide an individual who will work with the youth in developing leadership skills, good decision making, relationship building, and goal setting.
All funding received will be utilized for transportation, event planning, program fees, training expenses and other costs related to the implantation and promotion of the youth mentorship services provided by I Care Family Services.
The National Mentoring Resource Center has provided recent research statistics that describe the benefits of mentorship for youth who have been impacted by the foster care system. Children in foster care often experience multiple moves from home to home and deal with other issues that stem from trauma including but not limited to lack of confidence, high rates of depression and suicidal ideations. Youth mentorship can curve these statistics in the favor of youth in foster care. Trained youth mentors will receive supervision on a regular basis from IFS staff members who have an established working relationship with each youth that enters the program. Strong mentorship relationships involve building mutual trust and understanding with a commitment to build a bridge especially for youth who are transitioning to independence. The IFS youth mentorship program will need the financial support of dedicated community stakeholders to ensure that the program will have the greatest impact possible in the lives of Georgia youth.

Project Title: K-6 Youth Summer Camps
Project Description:

The Josephy Center for Arts and Culture (JCAC) is a community gathering place dedicated to “celebrating,promoting and inspiring arts and culture in Wallowa County.” We provide visual and performing arts education classes for people of all ages, host a wide variety of culturally-engaging community events and discussions, promoting Nez Perce education, and presenting high-quality exhibits and musical performances year-round. In this isolated, rural community, JCAC fills a critical gap in art education for Wallowa County youth.

We are excited to highlight the flourishing arts community in our region, where the breathtaking landscapes right outside our doors provide a unique backdrop for creative inspiration. In our ongoing commitment to fostering artistic talents among the youth, we are seeking financial support for our 2025 Youth Summer Camps in Wallowa County.
These camps aim to offer high-quality, enriching arts education to rural youth, catering specifically to children in grades K-6. The program will consist of four week-long half-day summer camps, strategically designed to engage young minds through innovative activities that both captivate their interests and impart valuable arts skills.
Wallowa County, nestled amidst the rugged and awe-inspiring beauty of the Eagle Cap Wilderness and Wallowa Mountains, attracts a million visitors annually. This natural splendor has contributed to the evolution of our county into a thriving arts community.
By supporting these art camps, you will be directly contributing to the nurturing of skills in our youth at an early age. The majestic mountainous landscape that surrounds us serves as not just a scenic backdrop but a living canvas for young artists to draw inspiration from. Your assistance will empower us to continue fostering a love for the arts, creating a lasting impact on the cultural vibrancy of Wallowa County.
Funds will be used for art supplies, instructors and scholarships.

Project Title: Rural Youth Resources
Project Description:

Our mission is to ensure each child receives the physical, emotional, and intellectual support they need – in school, at home, and in the community – to learn well. Our service area includes six rural communities, two Tribal Nations, and three school districts within a geographical area of 1,000 square miles in rural San Diego County. We provide services to approximately 750 youth annually.

Our Family Resource Center takes a holistic approach to child wellbeing. We believe that when a caregiver feels seen and supported it’s easier for them to engage with and support their child’s needs. We connect families to county-based nutrition and health care programs. We alleviate general strains for health care coordination by scheduling campus-based dental screenings, eye exams, emotional health check-ins and monthly opportunities for youth to meet with UCSD Pediatric Residents. We partner with local food distribution organizations to provide kid friendly food bags to families experiencing food insecurity during the school year.
We provide grocery cards when more support is needed to meet the households nutritional needs. We also provide gas gift cards since most families have to travel almost 30 minutes one way to access a grocery store. Our center houses a kids clothes closet and diaper bank, to provide clothing, shoes and other basic necessities at no cost to families throughout the year.

Annually, we facilitate and organize various charitable events or programs to fulfill other needs of youth. In the Spring we partner with local summer camps to make enrichment opportunities more equitable for the youth we serve. In the fall we begin to coordinate our winter programs to provide warm winter jackets and alleviate the financial burden of the holidays.

We are seeking additional funding for our Family Resource programs to continue to provide these supports to the youth we serve.
