Seeking Fundraising VolunteersOrganization: New York Youth At Risk Youth at Risk is a non-profit organization committed to reducing the at-risk behavior of young people. Since 1985, Youth at Risk has worked to deliver innovative and effective programs, aimed at empowering young people to lead fulfilled lives. We work with teen moms, teen dads, young men in single mom households, survivors of domestic violence and young people whose parent(s) are incarcerated. Vision Funders Club Youth at Risk lost almost $100,000 of the funding we depend on to carry out our mission and programs. Now, in this crisis, we need financial help to continue our work. We have a broad range of issues we must address from personnel and salary support to program redesign. But one thing we will never compromise is the quality of our service to our youth. Last year we provided services to 684 clients and in 2010 we will exceed that. These are real children, alive and living in New York City. They have faced the worst that life can throw at them. You have heard their stories. At YAR they have found care, compassion and practical life-skills and they have rebounded. How YOU can support the Vision Funders Club: Attend a Phone Team Training session. Our phone team meets weekly on Tuesdays or Thursdays (choose the day that works for you) and in a fun, relaxed atmosphere reach out to past and present volunteers to enroll them in becoming Vision Funders. Our next Phone Team training is on Thursday, September 9th from 6:30 to 8:00pm. Please confirm your attendance by 6:30pm Wednesday, September 8th.
