On-going cutbacks and budget freezes are having heartbreaking affects on our schools, after schools and shelter sites nationwide. Kids no longer have = creative and cultural arts classes, social emotional wellness activities, phys ed activities and are missing their one hot meal of the day. Here's our WHY - see what our kids have to say....

"Get empowered days are my favorite! I love all the teachers. They are really kind and make me feel like I can do anything." ~Jeremiah, 8 years old, Oakland, CA.

Our community rallied in 2025, let's keep the generosity and giving going BIG for 2026! Thanks to all our supporters, Get Empowered! team was able to reignite and 'unfreeze' Summer programs for over 7000 kids. We can do even more to help in 2026!

"In October, my school had to stop all our arts and phys ed classes because they said all the money got cut. It made me so sad. And then Get Empowered showed up and donated some classes. They gave us art materials, bucket drums and let us try tap dancing. I love the trips we take together to see shows. We got to see dance and music shows at theaters in Manhattan, visited a really cool library and went to the National Jazz Museum." ~ Skye, 12 years old, Brooklyn, NYC.

"I just want to say thank you to Get Empowered. I used to not talk or do much in class. I was bored and didn't feel like I was good at any thing. Now, I am a get empowered youth leader! Me and friends have the best time helping our get empowered teacher start classes with the stretch, smile and breathing exercises. It helps us feel calm. I got really good at the yoga and Capoeira and I got my first B in math." ~Angel, 14 years old, Los Angeles, CA.

Heartfelt gratitude and in community, ~Emi, Sabiá, Garry, Porshia, Marie, Lexi, Elyse, and our National Get Empowered team/family
