Join us for trivia night on North Texas Giving Day at Saint Rocco’s New York Italian - Let the “We Need Ignite Me” Begin! It's more than a slogan, it’s a collective call from students, educators, and families who know the value of civic education. This year, we’re amplifying their voices to show that civic learning is not optional, it’s essential. Youth Revive is raising $20,000 to sustain and grow the Ignite Me Action Civics Program, empowering youth to lead community change across South Dallas.

"Through Ignite Me, I learned that I have power, not just in the future, but right now."— Student Participant

Here’s how your contribution can ignite change:

Help Dallas Youth Find Their Voice, and Use It
Every young person deserves the opportunity to believe that their ideas matter, their community matters, and they have the power to make a difference. Youth Revive is a Dallas-based nonprofit working to close the civic empowerment gap for youth in low-income communities through character education, civic education, youth leadership, and college readiness. We partner with schools and community organizations to help young people build the knowledge, confidence, and skills they need to become active, caring leaders in their communities.

Our Goal: Raise $20,000 for Dallas Students
This North Texas Giving Day, we’re raising $20,000 to support Ignite Me, our character and civic education program offered in Dallas. The Ignite Me program gives students more than a lesson about government or citizenship. Youth learn how to look at the challenges around them, understand the assets already present in their communities, work with others, and develop solutions to issues they care about.

Through the program, young people build real-world skills like:
Critical thinking. Problem-solving. Public speaking. Conflict resolution. Collaboration. Networking. Self-regulation.
Most importantly, they begin to see themselves differently, not just as youth, but as people who can contribute to their communities now.

Why This Work Matters
Too many young people growing up in under-resourced communities have fewer opportunities to access the civic, character, and leadership education that helps them understand their role in shaping the world around them. Youth Revive exists to help close that gap. We believe young people shouldn't have to wait until college, adulthood, or some distant point in the future to make a difference. They can start now! Ignite Me helps students connect the issues they see in their own neighborhoods with possible solutions, and gives them the tools to take action. Students work collaboratively on community issues and learn that meaningful change often begins with paying attention, asking questions, listening to others, and deciding to do something about what they see.

And when young people learn that their voices matter, they develop civic character making our communities become stronger.

Help Us Reach $20,000
Your Gift Helps Put This Education in the Hands of More Students. A donation to Youth Revive helps us continue bringing free youth education and civic empowerment programming to Dallas students, providing experiences that can shape how young people see themselves, their communities, and their futures.

Our $20,000 North Texas Giving Day goal will help sustain and strengthen Ignite Me in Dallas schools so students can develop the confidence and skills to lead, serve, and create positive change. You’re not just giving to a program. You’re investing in a young person who is learning to see a problem and believe they can be part of the solution.

Together, we can help young people learn, lead, and revive their communities.
Give to Youth Revive this North Texas Giving Day and help us close the civic empowerment gap, one student, one classroom, and one community at a time.
