We’re launching a community fundraiser called It Takes a Village, and I’d love to invite you to participate by adopting a neighborhood in the YATLP Village. Each neighborhood represents essential skills participants gain through the program—like budgeting, employment readiness, safe driving, and more.
​
Here’s how it works:
• Adopt a neighborhood
• Commit to a $1,000 fundraising goal
• Share your page with friends, family, or colleagues
• Help young adults in Delaware County build the skills they need to thrive
A $1,000 goal may seem lofty, but it adds up quickly. For example:
- 10 friends giving $100 - 25 friends giving $40 - A group of coworkers pitching in $25 each
However you choose to rally your network is completely up to you—and we’ll provide a toolkit with graphics and messaging to make fundraising simple and successful.
​
We’re hoping to recruit 25 Neighborhood Adopters. The campaign runs April 15–May 31, and when we reach our goal, we’ll celebrate together with a Village BBQ and open house at the YATLP TreeHouse on June 3rd.
Once you sign up, we’ll provide a toolkit with graphics, messaging, and simple tools to make fundraising easy.​
​
SAVE THE DATE for our It Takes a Village Celebratory BBQ & Open House: June 3rd, 2026.
