PEERS GIVING 2018
by San Francisco Peer Resources
Elizabeth Hubbard
Hi friends and family! I believe in Peer Resources because for more than 20 years I have had the honor of watching young people become amazing leaders while in middle and high school and continue to become community leaders, artists and change agents as adults. I believe because once that light goes on in a young person--that belief in themselves and the possibility of changing the world--it never goes out. I believe because the biggest laughs, the deepest thoughts and the most heart-felt tears have been with Peer Resources people.
I've pledged to give back by raising $500 Peer Resources to sustain their powerful programs, raising youth as leaders right now, and growing educator leaders for our community. We need Peers so that youth are each other's champions and in solidarity, can develop creative innovative heart-filled solutions to the problems that they face and that they understand the best.
Join me in supporting this vital organization for our community! I've got us started
Peer Resources changes lives.
Each year, Peer Resources trains and engages 750 low-income youth of color from across San Francisco who begin to see themselves as leaders, make enduring friendships across identities, and advocate for change. Peer Leaders reach 16,000 of their peers a year. Let's make sure this movement keeps going forward!
Empower San Francisco youth as agents of change! Help Peer Resources sustain radical programs to raise youth leaders who transform people and the system with your support this giving season.
Every dollar helps, and anything you can give means another ally standing with youth who are fighting transphobia, resisting institutional racism, and making daily change towards a better world that we all need, adults and youth alike.
Your gift will support city-wide conferences for youth to see that they are not doing this hard work alone, that they are activated alongside hundreds of youth who are collectively pushing for change. Transformative Change Day, Youth Are Resources Conference, and Future Educators Conference bring together over 300 youth annually to build skills and community. Help us provide these platforms for youth voice by giving today!
