Melanated Cares – Programs
Pathways to Purpose
Youth Programs: Guiding youth toward goals that match their passion and potential.
We invest early because young people deserve stability, support, and a real chance to thrive. Your generosity fuels programs that open doors to confidence, healing, leadership, and opportunity.
What You Make Possible:
- Scholarships that help students reach college or trade school.
- Support for At-Risk Youth through mentoring and positive experiences.
- Youth Camps where healing and growth happen in safe, joyful spaces.
- Mental Wellness Activities that help kids feel grounded and connected.
- Kidz Biz Fair where young creators become young entrepreneurs.
- Leadership Programs including EmpowerHER/HIM, strengthening voice and confidence.
- Back-to-School Support with supplies and essentials for a strong start.
Be the reason a young person gets the support they deserve.
Sponsor a student. Fund a camp spot. Give a kid the tools to succeed.
