From Laura Ferguson
I'm fundraising because YR has been a community to come home to for youth & adults alike (me included) for 37 years, and I want to make sure YR is that home for people for 37 more.

About Me
I'm a YR alumna, employee, and human whose life was changed by the people & programs of YR. I got involved in YR's programs as a freshman in high school in 2003, and my world widened. I was celebrated for gifts that I had thought were weaknesses, I was given opportunities to grow my skills, practice my leadership, and build healthy peer and adult relationships. My confidence was constantly affirmed. I found community, care, support, love, and people who would continue to show up for me for the next 22 years. Now, at age 36, I know that YR transformed my life for the infinitely better. That's my YR story, that's why I do this work, and that's what your gift makes possible for kids every day.
More Info
We're YR's staff team, and we're fundraising on #YRday to support the work we feel so lucky to do every day.
YR Day is a 24-hour online party and fundraising event for YR and the people who make YR possible (that’s you). Whether you’re a student, alumni, parent, volunteer or just a fan with a special place in your heart for YR - this celebration is for you!
YR’s mission is to inspire and develop our community of youth to a life dedicated to leadership, service, and civic engagement. Since 1987 we’ve worked with over 150,000 students and funded more than 3,310 service projects in 6 counties. Our alumni give, serve, and lead in education, healthcare, business, law, nonprofits, tech and more, using the skills they learned through YR’s programs.
Last year our students served over 8,000 hours with more than 100 local organizations, and they planned 63 service projects with their peers. They opened their hearts to the needs in our community and put their hands to work making a difference.
