Gratitude & #GivingTuesday: Opening Doors to a Bright Future
As part of this year’s #GivingTuesday campaign -- a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world – NYA is asking for your support to help us meet operational needs of afterschool tutoring, mentoring, and 100% college placement of participating youth leaders.
On Tuesday, November 30, we are encouraged to do good in communities where we share a connection. Together we can give support to the children, youth, and the families we serve and bring hope. NYA’s financial needs range from giving toward math and reading after-school instruction, parental engagement support, technology connectivity, and college readiness.
Please give a #GivingTuesday gift of $50, $100, $250, $500 or more to support NYA’s mission TODAY. Please donate here: Giving Tuesday. We continue to be committed to empowering students to achieve 100% college placement and on-time high school graduation through mentoring, tutoring, and a holistic family approach to break cycles of poverty and vulnerability. Together we open doors to a bright future. Together we succeed!
