Mission Statement
Youth for Yemen is an organization that aims to provide resources to families struggling in Yemen, as well as youth in America with the skills needed to advocate, educate, and lead.
Description
Started by a highschool girl greatly interested in Yemeni water scarcity, Youth for Yemen hopes to demonstrate the immense power of the Youth. The organization partners with Oxfam, and within its first few days of operation has raised over $2,300. Potential volunteers for this organization are preferably those between the ages of 12-20, and those who are passionate about helping others. Depending on what your goals are in the organization, the workload is very low commitment and manageable!! Members can start their own chapters, spread awareness for the cause, work on social media advocacy, and bring new ideas to the table for expanding outreach. The organization is entirely youth-led/run.
