Meet THIS IS ALIVE. π
Our 2026 Giving Tuesday campaign tells the beautiful story of what can happen when a teen finds their people. πβοΈ
Someone saves them a seat. A conversation becomes a friendship. Their idea gets heard. Before long, theyβre the one making room for someone else. π―π«Ά
π‘ THIS is Belonging.
π THIS is Leadership.
π€ THIS is Connection.
π THIS is ALIVE.
Between now and December 1, weβll share more of the teens and stories behind those words.
