Celestial is Simply Youth Institute’s 2025 Giving Tuesday campaign, created in loving memory of Amiya Varble (she/they) — a recent graduate of our Sagacity Leadership Program for teen girls navigating foster care, homelessness, and mental health challenges.
Amiya was a poet, visionary, and truth-teller who believed that young people don’t just need services — they need to be seen, heard, and supported.
This campaign is our promise to carry her light forward — and to invest in healing-centered spaces for girls like her.
Join us for Celestial: A Celebration of Amiya’s Light — a special community gathering to honor the voice, vision, and artistry of Amiya Varble (she/they), a Sagacity graduate whose work continues to inspire a movement.
This event will take place in the same space where Amiya released her book, Her Voice Discovered. We will honor her legacy through:
This is not a conclusion — it is a continuation of the light Amiya gave us. All are welcome to join in this space of remembrance, resilience, and rising.
Open to youth, families, community members, and those committed to healing-centered spaces.
Bring your presence. Bring your prayers. Bring your promise to carry the light forward.
Every gesture of support, no matter how small, can spark hope and possibility for those facing challenges. Your donation today helps create safe spaces and opportunities for growth, offering a pathway to a brighter future. Together, we can cultivate a compassionate community and work toward a world where everyone thrives in harmony and security.
