Why donate?
Tucson Borderlands YAVs spend a year in service to the Tucson community. Each volunteer offers their community partner organization more than 1200 hours of work as a YAV -- doing things like repairing swamp coolers, making beds for newly arrived neighbors, and helping to fill out immigration paperwork.
YAVs learn from the people they work with, seeing how their colleagues fight for justice and stay hopeful in a broken world day by day. The TBYAV program nurtures YAVs through retreats and vocational discernment, challenges YAVs to encounter new ideas and reflect on their identities, and connects YAVs with communities and mentors in a totally new place.
Through this program, YAVs are transformed.
Contributors from the local community are critical to make this work possible. Think of is this way: just like sunscreen is required as a protection from the hot desert sun, sustaining donations protect the Tucson Borderlands YAVs.
SUNSCREENERS are donors who support and care for Tucson Borderlands YAVs through monthly contributions. This allows the program to help YAVs pay for therapy, to offer emergency support in medical emergencies or after bike accidents, provide stable housing, and to offer challenging and powerful programming throughout the YAVs' year of service.
