Ways to Support
Your contribution isn't just a donation – it's an investment in the future of our community. Every dollar invested in our youth directly impacts our community health outcomes like poverty, mental health, and more. Join us in building a brighter future for our young people and our community at large.
ROOTS Teen Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
FY25 Youth are the ROOTS of Our Community Campaign!
Update: We are so close to releasing our 1st year of matching funding! As soon as we hit $1,600 in monthly contributions, $50,000 will be released by our anonymous matching donor.
We have an amazing opportunity to unlock a generous match donation by securing $5,000 in monthly commitments! We’re asking you to commit to a recurring monthly donation at whatever level is right for you.
$25, $10, even $5 a month has a HUGE long term impact! Together, we can reach our $5,000/mo goal and unlock a $30,000 multi-year match. This funding is so important to ROOTS and the youth of your community. We don’t want to let this opportunity pass us by.
At ROOTS Teen Center, we believe in empowering local youth to thrive in a safe and supportive environment. By contributing to our monthly crowdsourcing campaign, you’ll directly impact the lives of teens in our community by ensuring they have a space they can rely on, that belongs to them, where they can express themselves, learn new skills, and build meaningful relationships that foster growth. This year alone we have supported close to 100 individuals; many of whom visit the center multiple times per month.
Reaching our goal of $5,000 in monthly donations will unlock a 3 year donation of $30,000 from an anonymous donor. This funding will not only support the long-term sustainability of ROOTS, your support will be invested in one of our biggest assets, our staff. Skilled individuals who are deeply committed to shaping the future of our youth, ultimately helping to build a stronger, more resilient community. They provide more than just supervision – they create a safe space, nurturing environment where teens can grow, learn, and feel empowered. They build strong, trusting relationships, offering guidance during critical years in these young people’s lives. They are role models, as well as advocates. Without passionate, dedicated staff, we wouldn't be able to offer the personalized attention and care that makes our space unique.
