Donation protected
**NOT standard Washington D.C. trip fund!!! This trip is primarily for educational purposes! On top of the experiences, I get something to add to my transcript and TWO COLLEGE CREDITS! Thank you for taking the time to read this!!**
Hello! My name is Izzabella Carretta (one on the right of the picture!) and I am reaching out in hopes of raising enough money to attend an incredible opportunity that has come my way. I have been invited to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF) on Law & CSI in Washington D.C. In this program, those selected will receive chances to participate in hands-on evidence analysis, courtroom or forensic simulations, a legal or CSI track, cover the entire judicial process in-depth, and many more opportunities.
I am a driven and dedicated 16-year-old, straight-A (for the last 5+ years) student from Cumberland Academy High School as well as a member of our school's NHS (National Honor Society). Outside of school I just got my driver's license and am a Rose City Ambassador. Ever since I can remember, I've had a profound interest in law and criminal investigation. Driven by these interests, I aim to become a prosecutor to learn the ins and outs of the system to better be able to be the voice for those who don't have one and to protect vulnerable youth. This forum offers a unique chance for me to find my future in these areas, learn from experts in the field, and gain valuable skills and knowledge that will shape my future.
As mentioned above, the NYLF Law & CSI program provides hands-on experiences, interactive simulations, and workshops led by professionals in the legal and forensic science fields. From crime scene analysis to courtroom simulations, this forum promises to be an unforgettable educational experience that will enhance my understanding of the career path and inspire me to pursue my dreams in law and criminal justice.
As excited as I am about this opportunity, I am looking for your support to make this dream a reality. The costs associated with attending the program include tuition fees, travel expenses, and materials. Unfortunately, they surpass what my family and I can afford on our own. Your generosity can make a world of difference. By contributing to this campaign, you'll be investing in my education and my future. No amount is too small, and every donation brings me one step closer to attending this life-changing forum. Additionally, support through prayers and sharing this campaign within your networks would be extremely appreciated. The $5,100 I am trying to raise covers my tuition ($4,400), my flight ($450), my transportation ($100), and incidentals ($150). In order to secure my spot I have to pay a down payment of $720 BEFORE April 17th! After I secure my spot I have until June 16th (a month before my trip that will take place July 16-23) to pay the remaining $4,380!
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering supporting my journey to the NYLF Law & CSI program. Your belief in me means more than words can express, and I am committed to making the most of this opportunity. Together we can turn my passion into a reality and pave the way for a brighter future.
*** If I cannot raise the money needed I intend on refunding everyone's money unless specified otherwise such as donating it to a greater cause or putting it in a savings account for my future opportunities. ***
