Hi friends! I know many of my friends and family are passionate about social, environmental and justice centered issues like I am. This is why I am reaching out to you to help support YEA Camp. There is a description written by them below about their camp and all of the wonderful work they have done, but I want to first tell you my experience. My week at YEA Camp this past summer was one I feel deeply fortunate to have spent. I learned so much from experienced activists, discussed many issues centered around the environment and justice for people and animals, connected and made friends with other passionate adults, ate amazing vegan food and became rejuvenated in my activism. YEA Camp also allowed me to come for a very reduced price due to their commitment to making education, activism and community engagement as accessible as possible. Since the end of camp I have committed to making a donation to them at least once a month, whatever I could give. Because they deserve it! They are making activism accessible for children and adults and building a community of passionate changemakers. Please consider giving them a few dollars!
YEA Camp's description of their work: "Want to learn more about YEA Camp? YEA Camp is a social justice leadership camp that trains aspiring activists to make a bigger difference on causes they care about. Over the past decade, we've trained nearly 1,000 people to get more active in their communities and to take action to make our world a better place. While some organizations raise funds by running a 5K or selling cookies, YEA Camp wanted to do something mission-driven that encourages people to get more involved in activism and to celebrate it in community. That's why you're here, reading about our first ever Volunteer-a-Thon! Why is this so important? YEA Camp granted financial aid to 51 of the 100 participants at camp this summer, including 17 who received full scholarships, and 8 who paid between $1-100. We funded $66,400 worth of financial aid for all of these amazing humans to be able to attend. This was only possible thanks to the support of donations to the YEA Camp scholarship fund. Your donation makes it possible for YEA Camp to say yes to just as many or more aspiring activists wanting to come to camp next year. Thank you so much for your support!"
