After School Program for At-Risk Youth
Tax deductible
Welcome to the official GoFundMe campaign for City Harvest Ministries' After School Program in Bridgeport, CT! We are a dedicated church community passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of at-risk youth in our city. With this fundraising effort, we aim to provide a safe and nurturing environment where young individuals can thrive, learn, and build a brighter future.
At City Harvest Ministries, we firmly believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering young people to reach their full potential. Unfortunately, many at-risk youth in our community face significant barriers that hinder their access to quality educational opportunities. Through our After School Program, we strive to bridge this gap and give these students the tools and support they need to succeed.
Our program operates on the principle that education extends beyond the classroom. We offer a holistic approach, combining academic support, life skills development, mentorship, and enrichment activities. By addressing the diverse needs of our students, we foster personal growth, instill confidence, and equip them with the skills necessary to overcome challenges and thrive in their academic pursuits.
With the funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign, we will be able to:
- Provide educational resources: Your generous contributions will help us furnish our program with up-to-date textbooks, educational materials, and technology resources that enhance the learning experience for our students.
- Enhance our facilities: We aim to create a welcoming and inspiring space for our students. Your donations will support facility upgrades, including creating comfortable learning areas, setting up a dedicated computer lab, and establishing a resource center.
- Expand our mentorship network: Mentors play a crucial role in guiding and supporting at-risk youth. By expanding our mentorship network, we can connect our students with positive role models who can provide guidance, encouragement, and support throughout their educational journey.
- Enrichment activities: We firmly believe that extracurricular activities foster creativity, teamwork, and personal development. Your contributions will enable us to offer a range of enriching experiences such as art classes, music lessons, sports programs, and field trips, providing our students with well-rounded educational opportunities.
- Scholarships and educational grants: Many of the youth we serve come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. With your support, we can establish scholarships and educational grants that will enable our students to pursue higher education or vocational training, opening doors to brighter futures.
By contributing to our GoFundMe campaign, you become an advocate for change in the lives of at-risk youth in Bridgeport. Your support will not only empower young individuals but also uplift our community as a whole. Together, we can break down barriers, unlock potential, and ensure that every child has an equal opportunity to succeed.
