Youth Challenge conducts more than 300 programs per year across Northeast Ohio. A $2,000 donation covers the expenses of a month-long, signature YC program like March Madness, Football, or Dance and Drama.
Program expenses include transportation, supplies, space rentals, and snacks.
Youth Challenge's monthly utility bills for our Westlake headquarters total approximately $250 per month.
A $1,000 donation will keep the lights on in the gym, the A/C running in the fitness center, and the fresh water spurting out of the drinking fountains for four months!
It costs $142.30 to fill up just one of YC's eight lift-equipped vans. A donation of $500 provides three and a half tanks of gas for our vans that drive all over Northeast Ohio year-round.
Free transportation is provided for 95% of the participants served by Youth Challenge. Without safe, accessible transportation, many of our participants would not be able to attend programs.
It costs approximately $25 to conduct a program for one participant at Youth Challenge, including transportation. A $250 donation provides ten full programs, including transportation, for one participant.
In 2022, Youth Challenge participants engaged in an average of 50 hours of program time.
Youth Challenge is committed to providing both our participants and volunteers with unique and exciting experiences. A $100 donation supports one volunteer training session for future Youth Challenge volunteers.
Before volunteering at Youth Challenge, teen volunteers take part in either a virtual or in-person volunteer training to learn about YC's culture, disability language, and empathy.

Each YC program begins the same way - with a snack! A $50 donation stocks our snack closet with snacks for a full week of programs.
Some of our participants and volunteers' favorite snacks include chips, fruit snacks, and crackers.
Your donations to our Fund-a-Need will be matched, up to $25,000! All donations will help ensure that Youth Challenge programs remain accessible to those who need them most.
