Stay in the Light

For five years, Simply Youth Institute’s SAGACITY Leadership Program has created spaces where young people can be seen, heard, supported, and reminded of their power.

For five years, we have witnessed what happens when young people are given something incredibly important:

A safe space to belong.

From September 14 through October 14, we are asking our community to help us raise $10,000 to continue this work through STAY IN THE LIGHT, our SAGACITY campaign focused on suicide prevention, healthy relationships, domestic violence prevention, emotional wellness, and connection.

Young people are navigating experiences we cannot always see.

Behind a smile can be anxiety. Behind silence can be a young person trying to find the words.

Inside a relationship can be behaviors they do not yet recognize as unhealthy.

And sometimes, what changes a young person’s path is knowing there is someone—and somewhere—they can turn to. ✨ SAGACITY strives to be one of those spaces.
