Empower Youth: Support IROSA Cares' Mission

Donation protected
The mission of our organization is to empower youth, especially youth of color, to perform acts of volunteerism in an effort to become the best citizens for our communities, near and far. We are a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN#99-0479630) and all of your donations are tax deductible. Kindly consider a donation to our organization so we may plan events to engage our youth, while building their self-esteem and letting them see they too can help others, they too can make a difference in the world and they too benefit when they help others. Our youth need opportunities to be valued and feel valued. Experiences that boost their confidence and ambition are all essential for their healthy development. Research shows that volunteering provides many mental, emotional and social benefits. Our MLK Day of Service(January) is our signature volunteer event! Although youth and teens are our target audience, volunteers of all ages are welcome to join us. As we raise more funds, we plan to:
1. host a meal packing event that will cost us almost $4,000(Spring).
2. provide a 6 week online financial literacy program for teens(February)
3. host a 9/11 Day of Service event(September)
4. participate in a breast cancer walk (October)
Your donations will help us accomplish these goals and more! Please and thank you!
Kindly make a donation to our cause today AND its tax deductible!! Thank you!
