To our incredible community, partners, and friends,
When the Empower Youth project began in April of 2025, we set out with a mission to uplift, support, and connect young people right here in Fresno. Over the last year and a half, this space has truly become a beacon of growth and community, touching the lives of youth in ways that will be felt for years to come.
As with all meaningful chapters, the time has come for this specific project to draw to a close. June 2026 will mark the official conclusion of the Empower Youth project.
While this marks the end of a program, the impact on the lives we touched, the friendships forged, and the resilience built will carry forward into the future. We are immensely proud of what we have accomplished together since April of last year.
