The need for affordable, safe, and supportive programs for youth is at an all time high. This is why Youth One is determined to make sure all youth and families in Lethbridge have access to mentorship based programs and supports during out of school times. Will you join us in this mission?!
The Goal - And whats up with the balloons?!
The need this year is to raise $120,000. These funds will provide 100 individual youth with full access to Youth One for the full year through our Launch Forward Initiative. For every $1200 collectively given, one youth receives a full school year of access to daily meals, afterschool programs, support services, mentorship and more.
White balloon - For every $100 you give you will receive 1 white balloon at your table (This represents 1 month of sponsorship for 1 youth to attend Youth One)
Blue balloon - For every $1200 you give you will receive a blue balloon at your table. (This represents 1 year of sponsorship for 1 youth to attend Youth One)

About Youth One:
Youth One provides mentorship based, after school programs and support services for youth ages 11-18. Programs are designed to give students a community of belonging, support and guidance during their most formative years.
History:
In 2014, Youth One launched because of a major need in many communities: Affordable, quality driven, mentorship based programs supporting youth after school. In Canada, almost 1 in every 2 youth will grow up without a mentor or role model in their life. This means many youth are going through life without necessary guidance and support during their most formative years. Research tells us when a youth has even ONE positive role model/mentor in their life it dramatically reduces many risk factors such as drug and alcohol abuse, crime rates, mental health issues, drop-out rates etc. For this reason, we are determined to make sure no youth has to figure out life alone. We firmly believe that when youth are supported to live out their full potential, the future health of our community increases. Since launching in 2014, Youth One has supported thousands of individual youth through their middle school and high school years. This has been done through after-school drop in programs, support groups, leadership training, food services, life skill development and more.
