Our quarterly charity for january/february/march 2021 was The rightway foundation.
About The RightWay Foundation
The RightWay Foundation help Transition-Age Foster Youth get and keep good jobs despite the overwhelming trauma they have endured throughout their lives.
Most foster youth who have aged out of the foster care system have experienced a significant amount of trauma. Pain and feelings of powerlessness do not just disappear. Without confronting their past trauma in a healthy way, it is difficult for our youth to hold a job, support their family, or have a rewarding future. At RightWay, therapy and counseling are major parts of the employment model, starting within the initial Operation Emancipation job training and continuing in one-on-one and group settings for program participants and alumni. RightWay’s goal is to give former foster youth and re-entry youth the training, therapy, and guidance they need to live their best lives.
Our quarterly charity for October/November/December 2020 wAs Justice For Black Girls.
About Justice For Black Girls
The mission of Justice for Black Girls is to expand global knowledge of how US-based systems of power respond to and perpetuate the abuse of Black girls in schools, in prisons and in protest.
Justice for Black Girls (JBG) elevates the voices of Black girls as experts and cultivates student activism through our Justice Ambassadors Program. JBG partners with institutions of higher learning and grassroots organizations to engage Black girls in the academic and policy work that centers Black girlhood.
JBG is focused on equipping Black girls with tools not authorized by empowerment- focused on developing self help in the midst of structural degradation, but power- the agency to alter the systems that actively marginalize Black girlhood. We are committed to creating space that enables Black girls to imagine a life beyond the confining structures in which they currently live.
Our quarterly charity for July/August/September 2020 was The Loveland Foundation.
About the Loveland Foundation
“The Loveland Foundation was established in 2018 by Rachel Cargle in response to her widely successful birthday wish fundraiser, Therapy for Black Women and Girls. Her enthusiastic social media community raised over $250,000, which made it possible for Black women and girls nationally to receive therapy support. Black women and girls deserve access to healing, and that healing will impact generations.
The Loveland Foundation is the official continuation of this effort to bring opportunity and healing to communities of color, and especially to Black women and girls. Through fellowships, residency programs, listening tours, and more, ultimately we hope to contribute to both the empowerment and the liberation of the communities we serve.”
