The Annual SHIELD Fund Campaign
| With your help we can make a direct investment into the lives of several youth in the community and step by step create a better tomorrow through the development of leadership in the youth today! |
At the SHIELD
Mentor Program (SHIELD) our goal is to match youth in need of an adult role
model, with a caring volunteer. When you choose to donate to our organization, you will
enable a deserving adolescent the opportunity to participate in our
programs at no cost. You will provide an opportunity to support our youth
as they develop the confidence, leadership and character they need to
become tomorrow’s leaders!
To be successful, SHIELD not only depends upon
pledges from individuals, but also sponsorships from area businesses and
organizations. The program budget, including all
of the money used for activities, is supported by donations, grants and
fundraisers. The ultimate goal of the campaign is to secure an annual
budget of $25,000 and thus operate at a level that allows efficient delivery of
mentoring services.
