This week, we have been working on the production of a new video for LIFT Youth Center! We worked with a pro this time, and I can’t wait till we get to share the finished product. We captured amazing smiles and sentiments. We gathered footage of what the experience of attending the youth center is from the students’ perspective. We interviewed students, staff, funders, partners, and community members. It was beautiful to hear their thoughts about the importance of our work and the impact it is having on individual students and the community as a whole. I am just so proud! Proud that we have invested in ways that are producing a social return on investment that can already be seen. Proud of our students who can express the value of that investment. Proud of the Staff who deliver these experiences. Man. I can’t wait for you to see the video for yourself… I think you’ll be proud, too!

Hi! What an honor it is to get to be the Executive Director of LIFT Youth Center! The opportunity to connect with awesome people like YOU, our upLIFTers, is a big part of that honor. Thank you for supporting our students by helping to keep our services FREE to them! This takes a big investment from many sources – it does indeed, “take a village” – and I am just so thankful that you are in ours! I hope you enjoy these weekly upLIFT messages. Please reach out if you need me. Peace, Tina.
