This month, we are launching our new Trailblazer Team! The Trailblazers will be an integral part of our growth here at Youth Odyssey and the impact that we are able to have. Our Trailblazers Team will be like an exclusive club made up of some of our strongest supporters (that’s you, right?)!
What is monthly giving and where does my money go?
Great questions! Being a member of our Trailblazers Team, means your monthly donation will help a child right here in your community. Your monthly gift directly impacts an individual child, which is a pretty special way to give back. There are different levels at which you can donate and each amount covers a different aspect of our programming for a youth. Here are some suggested amounts…
- $20=After school sessions for one youth
$25=Ropes Course for one youth
$150=Camping trip for one youth - $246=Full after school program for one youth
$400=Summer camp for one youth
So, if you wanted to make sure a child had the opportunity to attend a 3 day camping trip every month, you’d opt for the $150 monthly donation in order to send them there. Pretty cool, right? Any amount is appreciated and will help us combat risk factors like high school dropouts, teen pregnancy, gang involvement and juvenile crime. Now, you might be saying to yourself, “I’d love to help out but, what cool perks do Trailblazers get?”. Well, the answer is LOTS! You’ll be making a direct difference in the lives of youth in your community and that is priceless. As Youth Odyssey grows, we will also be giving out YO swag to our lovely Trailblazers. This will allow you to brag to all your friends about the great work you’re doing for your community in the Coastal Bend.
Where do I sign up?
If you like what you’ve heard and you’re interested in becoming a Trailblazer, all thats left to do is sign up! Follow this link, select the amount you’d like to donate monthly, fill in a bit of information about yourself and voila! You are now a Trailblazer. It’s that simple. If you have problems or questions you can always contact us for assistance.
I’m not sure I can commit to monthly donations, but I’d still like to help. What can I do?
If you are unable to give monthly head to the Trailblazers Team page and select a different option under frequency. You can make quarterly or annual donations as well. Another way you can give back is by donating equipment we need to keep our programs running. You can find a list of items needed on this page of our website! And finally, we are always on the lookout for great volunteers who can be positive role models for our youth. Volunteers also have the ability to help out around our office or help us write grants if the outdoors isn’t your scene. There are lots of ways to be involved in Youth Odyssey and we greatly appreciate any way you can give back!
