Youth Resources has shown me what true community looks like and that I can belong to that community. It’s changed my life in more ways than I can say.

About Me

Hi friends! My name is Becca and I have been involved with Youth Resources for a little over six years. I went to my first TEENPOWER in 7th grade and finished my 3rd year on the program’s Youth Staff this past summer. I spent my four years in highschool as a volunteer with the Vanderburgh Co. Teen Court program and a member of the Teen Advisory Council. I also had the privilege of serving as President of the Teen Advisory Council my senior year. Here’s the thing about YR: I could talk forever about the hard skills I’ve learned in my time as a YR student, like public speaking and creating agendas, but I’ve learned so much more about what it means to be a good person and what it means to be a part of community. Before YR, I didn’t understand what it meant to belong to others. Now, as I face new challenges in college every day, I know I am a better servant-leader, listener, student, friend, and just all-around human because of the kindness, grace, and empathy I’ve been shown by my YR fam. (They also give the best hugs). I wouldn’t be where I am without Youth Resources and that’s why I am celebrating: I want to help make sure YR can connect kids - like me - to friends, mentors, and opportunities forever. Help me reach my goal of $750 (or maybe more!) so future students can have YR as a place to call home! From $5 to $25, every dollar makes a huge difference. Thank you!

What is YR Day?

YR Day is a 24-hour online party and fundraising event for YR and the people who make YR possible (that’s you). Whether you’re a student, alumni, parent, volunteer or just a fan with a special place in your heart for YR - this celebration is for you!

Now, you might be asking, “If YR Day is a celebration for me, then why am I being asked to give?” 

The truth is, the life changing programs that YR provides to area youth are largely dependent on private support. So while celebrating YR’s present and past is definitely worthwhile, it’s also our responsibility to look ahead to future students. Their YR experiences are not yet guaranteed, which is why we ask for your help.
