I've invested in my health by participating in the Generosity Series 5k in Prospect Park - now, please join me in investing in our youth leaders!

#KeepRAPRunning is a campaign to raise money for an incredible, youth-led, adult-supported, Brooklyn-based organization, Resilience Advocacy Project (RAP). For eleven years, RAP has served as a platform for NYC's low-income youth of color to develop the power, confidence and knowledge to transform systems of poverty and fulfill their limitless potential. RAP is dedicated to ensuring youth voices are heard across New York City policymaking. We do this by providing advocacy training and social-emotional support to youth and providing professional training to partner nonprofit organizations to help adult supporters know how to better listen and incorporate their voices in decision-making.

We are at an urgent moment in this city’s and this nation’s history, where youth voices are most needed. Creative solutions are in short supply, and it seems we have given in to discord and violence as the status quo. But young people deserve better. With the right adult support, tools and access to power, they know how to solve the problems they face. We just need to give them the chance.

I know how amazing this organization is and I am constantly trying to support it, but I can’t do this without your support. I need your help to raise as much money as possible for all of RAP’s youth leaders and the communities they transform through their incredible advocacy. Please, give generously and invite your friends to join us. Let’s #KeepRAPRunning together! Let’s make all our young people's dreams come true.
