Show RI Youth Some Love

You can change the entire life of a youth in Rhode Island just by showing them a little love this GivingTuesday.

Thanks to the training and support YOUR love makes possible, Carissa D. (16) has made rapid progress in the Graphic Design Studio this year. She's even become a Youth Mentor, guiding other youth through complex design software like Adobe Illustrator.

But Carissa says the most important thing she's learned in the studio is "How to love and accept myself and realize my worth. This place made a huge difference in my mental health and helped me find a sense of purpose. I don't know what I would be if I didn't work here, but I believe that Riverzedge Arts saved my life."

That's your love in action.

The love that donors like YOU show for our teens gives Carissa and her peers the tools and guidance, training, and support to believe in themselves as artists and as people.

And your love puts food on the table for youth who need it! Thanks to you, each of our teens have free access to hearty pastas, fresh soaps, and other necessities to help support themselves and their families—many of whom live below the federal poverty line.

YOUR love gives teens like Carissa access to tutors, mental health counselors, and more as part of our programming. And our teens need them more than ever before.

And thanks to our amazing sponsors at KSA Marketing, the first $1,411 raised will be DOUBLED to celebrate KSA's placement as #1,411 on the Inc. 5,000 list. That means you can DOUBLE your impact for youth like Carissa, and equip them with everything they need to thrive.

Let's make this GivingTuesday a time to show our youth and our communities how much we care. Make a gift today to show some love for youth like Carissa and help them build more creative, more sustainable, and more loving futures.
