IT TAKES A VILLAGE

Thank you in advance for being part of the local community solution. Your generosity helps remove barriers that keep local students from having all they need to reach their full potential, and your financial donations are tax-deductible (tax id #: 91-2094856).

OUR PROMISE TO YOU

We promise to be a credible and transparent charity at all times, committed to the long-term and ongoing advocacy of our local youth. Your donations help fund all three programs and special projects, helping to work toward our goal of all youth in the Chelan Valley having everything they need to reach their full potential.

Time

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Time is a valuable resource in any scenario, especially when it comes to investing in kids. When we take the time to notice them, it makes a dramatic difference in their lives.
