ISKCON Youth Ministry

We need a newer bus for our youth tours and mission trips. Our current bus is now 18 years old and becoming less reliable. Last summer, for example, we broke down three times, with a lot of hassle and expensive repairs. Please help us raise funds towards a newer bus. For example, a 2019 bus cost around USD $300,000 with reasonably low mileage.

Please help us spread the word and contribute something towards this good cause.

Since 1995, ISKCON Youth Ministry bus tours have been providing immersive, transformational experiences in Krishna consciousness for hundreds of youth and young adults. Our goal is to inspire the next generation to spread this joyful Hare Krishna movement to every town and village.

$2000 for prasadam costs. Please support us for the coming year! We're raising money for our Alachua Youth Bhagavad Gita Study Program. For over 15 years, my husband and I have been providing weekly scripture study for the youth in Alachua. We meet each week with high school and a college-aged students. We get 15-30 participants each week. We chant japa, read and discuss sacred literature, and then provide a 4-course prasadam meal (many come for the prasadam :) Last year, we had our 5th fundraiser for this program, and our community came out to support our cause in just over 24 hrs. For many years, we paid for the prasadam costs out of our own pockets. We am asking for help for this year's programs to continue. We only need $50 per week to sponsor the prasadam. That's $2000 for 10 months of programming for our youth.

If you value that this happens in our community, please consider helping us. If your children take part in this program, please consider sponsoring a week. If you benefitted from this program in years past, please support it for others. If you partake of this program and have a little extra money, please help out.
