Empower Young People to Reimagine Their Future

Since 2019, Simply Youth Institute has empowered system-impacted young people—especially young women—to break cycles of instability and step into their potential. Your support helps us offer life-changing, purpose-driven programming, including:

• SAGACITY Leadership (Ages 13–19): After-school workshops focused on creative expression, financial literacy, identity, and personal growth. Every participant becomes a published author, gaining voice, confidence, and leadership.
• SYI Workforce Internship (Ages 18–26): A hands-on experience that provides mentorship, career readiness, and industry exposure in California and Oregon. Interns receive professional development and publish original work—positioning them for long-term success.
• Empowerment Workshops & Community Events: Healing-centered experiences that celebrate creativity, civic engagement, and community connection.
• Hygiene & Basic Needs Drives: Meeting essential needs so young people can participate fully and with dignity.

When you sponsor a student, you give them access to programs that unlock opportunity and help them grow as leaders, authors, and agents of change. Whether it’s $5 for supplies or $250 to sponsor a program experience, your gift creates real impact.
