The National American Public Health Association has invited The Resiliency Collaborative's Youth Changemakers to present at their annual conference in Boston, this November! But we need YOU to help us make this a reality. The cost of sending 5 youth + a chaperone to Boston is not inexpensive; the total, which includes transportation, food, lodging, and conference fees is quite a bit!

We need to raise $8,000!

One donor has generously offered a $500 match for every $2,000 raised! Can you help us? Every gift you make is tax deductible.

More about the APHA Conference:

This past year, our Changemakers, who are high-school aged youth in our leadership development internship, worked with the UNC Gillings School of Public Health to create and pilot a peer-to-peer mental health curriculum written by youth for youth. This curriculum is groundbreaking, but we need your support to make this national conference presentation opportunity possible.

Our young leaders WANT to be the difference and to be the Changemakers for their peers and the larger Southeast Raleigh community. Please help us by sponsoring these 15-19 year-olds to go to the conference in November to engage in shaping the future of youth public health.

Want to learn more about some of the youth attending and what they get from The Resiliency Collaborative's Changemaker internship program? Listen to their stories!
