Hello Students and Youth Groups,
We're glad you're here! This organization was created by a second grader and a group of her elementary school friends in 2012 to bring happiness to area sick, foster and homeless children. The projects We Cancerve has sponsored, from the beginning, are all created by youth for youth. Our focus is on giving kids lasting memories and products they need most so we ask people who share our values for helping in creating those lasting memories and to donate the products we need. We started this organization with the belief that many of us had unwanted new or gently-used toys, books and clothes that other children would be happy to receive. We learned that only did homeless, sick and foster children love our gifts and how we packaged them, so many other children believed in our work and wanted to help. This page is designed to help you - today's youth - better understand how you as an individual or as a team, can team with us to bring happiness to homeless, sick and foster children.
YOUTH ENGAGEMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO US
We're serious! We Cancerve is proud to say we insist that young people must be:
-
involved in authentic decision making,
-
considered advisers to adults who want to learn what motivates and resonates with youth, and
-
encouraged to connect directly with community leaders to bring projects and services to children we serve
See how we've made a difference in the lives of youth over the last few years! Click here.
We have a few major ideas that will require the most heart and effort to pull off. We think you represent just the right group to do any of these! Check these out:
