<div>We are an interfaith youth group based in the Brattleboro region. Our mission is to build a multicultural community through friendships, food, fun, and service, and by making a difference in our area and beyond.

</div>

<div>Our goal, and the project for which we are fundraising, is to travel to Charleston, South Carolina, a city which is central in the American story of slavery and racial inequality. If we're successful in our fundraising goal, we will work with Charleston Youth Mission, an organization which has long-term relationships with dozens of social service agencies in and around Charleston. They will help us to spread our labor across a wide variety of service projects throughout the week we will spend there. These will include serving hot meals to community members, supporting organizations working with orphaned or displaced children, serving marine mammals, and more. 

</div>

<div>If you donate, you will also be providing Brattleboro area youth (many of whom are newcomers to Vermont) with an opportunity to broaden their horizons by traveling to a different community. Members will learn about and compassionately participate in the improvement of the lives of marginalized people in a Southern state. We need your donations to assist with the estimated cost of about 1,000 dollars per person, including a fee which will go to AYM to cover our lodgings, our food, and their mission, as well as our own travel costs. Our goal is that each of our members will be able to attend this life-changing trip no matter their family’s financial situation.

</div>

<div>Please donate to this cause and support young people in your community and people in need beyond. Thank you so much!
