Our monthly Give Away the Plate contributions go to a local organization that best exemplifies our Unitarian Universalist principles and values through their work in our community.
Our January 2022 Give Away the Plate recipient is Volunteers for Youth Justice and will go toward our sponsorship of their annual Gumbo Gladiators fundraiser.
Volunteers for Youth Justice annually recruits, trains and supports hundreds of volunteers to provide services for at-risk children.
This includes Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers as well as mentors for their Gems and Gents program.
Other programs include Truancy Assessment Service Center and the Trust-Based Relational Intervention for children who have experienced trauma. These are just a few of the programs offered by Volunteers for Youth Justice to serve community youth in crisis.
