Sharefest 2019-2020 Impact Report
Unprecedented. New normal. These trying times. Updated protocols. Social distancing. Remote learning. Like you, we’ve heard it all. 2020 has put the world onto a ride we never wanted to be on and we aren’t sure when we can get off. But what has become apparent to us at Sharefest is the phrase missing in all of our new vernacular is: Fighting for vulnerable youth. The youth we serve have barriers stacked against them even in the best years. Often, their communities, schools and sometimes even their families give up on them. But we see something else. We see youth filled with untapped potential. We see youth who just need someone to believe in them. Even with everything they are up against, we are full of hope for our youth. As you’ll see in our 2019-2020 Impact Report, our programs work. Continuation students are graduating from high school. They are entering college and trade schools. Young men and women have mentors and networks to lean on for support and growth. Our youth are changing the trajectory of their lives and the lives of their families.
