About YouthSpeak Performance Charity Organization
YouthSpeak contributes to the mental health and well-being of students and youth who may be facing challenges, especially in our new normal of today's world, by creating awareness that these issues impact everyone in the community. We train youth to share their personal stories and positive coping tools in assembly and workshops for students, parents and educators.
For every student who deals with horrible anxiety or feelings of isolation and uncertainty, YouthSpeak aims to help them feel less alone and inspires them to reach out and ask for help. For parents who live with the struggles of trying to support their child through these challenges, YouthSpeak gives a voice of hope with a goal of reaching 50,000 youth this year through our virtual presentations.
Help us reach our goal! Your donation will provide leadership training for youth to share their stories and pay-it-forward to others.
