HOW IT WORKS:

The Launch Forward program is the main stream of funding to support youth through Y1. For every $1500 raised, one youth is provided a full year of access to Y1 in the 2024/2025 school year. This can be done through a one time gift, or by monthly recurring gifts. Just pick an amount or level at which you wish to give and we will take care of the rest. This year, at least 430 sponsorships need to be fulfilled by July 2025.

Youth One is 100% community funded by businesses and individuals alike. Regardless of what you give, it contributes to the sustainability, success, and impact Youth One has in Lethbridge.
It takes over $600,000 a year for Youth One to offer vital programs, meals and supports throughout the day.
 



“We support Youth One monthly and my wife and I can’t say enough about these wonderful young people and what they do for our youth. Proud to be a part.” — Dave J.
