A charity is an organization that works to help people in need or support important causes, often relying on donations and volunteers to make a difference. If you want to help out, you might assist with fundraising events, volunteer your time at their activities, or help spread awareness about the charity’s mission and goals.
The mission of Youthlinc is to create lifetime humanitarians. Our core programs (Local & International Service Year, Utah Local Service Directory, Young Humanitarian Award, Real Life: Teen Refugee Mentoring, and Global Community Leadership) are based in principles from educational and service learning research: student leadership, hands on sustained service which creates an emotional bond, mentoring, project based and cooperative learning.
"People Helping People is dedicated to reducing the number of children living in poverty by teaching low-income women, primarily single mothers, how to earn an adequate income through stable employment that pays a living wage."
"The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) is the leading organization in the U.S. working to end the drug war. We are people impacted by the drug war. We have lost loved ones to overdose. We are in recovery. We use drugs. We have experienced the harms of drug criminalization."
"Feeding America is the largest charity working to end hunger in the United States. We partner with food banks, food pantries, and local food programs to bring food to people facing hunger. We advocate for policies that create long-term solutions to hunger."
Their Mission Statement: "To unlock the potential of vulnerable youth ages 12-25 through holistic development, enriching families and activating sustainable opportunities to become self-sufficient.”
