እንደ አንድ ትልቅ ቤተሰብ፣ ማንነት ለወጣቶች በዘመናዊው ዓለም እንዲበለጽጉ የሚያስፈልጋቸውን ማህበራዊ-ስሜታዊ፣ አካዳሚያዊ፣ የስራ ሃይል እና የህይወት ክህሎቶችን ያስተምራል እና ሞዴሎችን ያስተምራል።

ፕሮግራሞች እና አገልግሎቶች በት/ቤት፣በማህበረሰብ እና በመጫወቻ ሜዳዎች ያለ ምንም ወጪ ይሰጣሉ እና በቤተሰብ ጉዳይ አስተዳደር፣በአእምሮ ጤና እና በአደንዛዥ እፅ አጠቃቀም ምክር፣ከክሊኒካዊ ያልሆነ ስሜታዊ ድጋፍ እና መዝናኛ ይሟላሉ። በጣም ውጤታማ ሲሆን ፕሮግራሞች እና አገልግሎቶች የሚቀርቡት በተጨባጭ ነው። የእኛ ስራ ዋና ነገር ወላጆች በልጆቻቸው ትምህርት እንዲሳተፉ እና ለስኬታቸው እና ለማህበረሰቡ ስኬት ሻምፒዮን እንዲሆኑ ማስቻል ነው። በመሆኑም ወጣቶቻችን እና ወላጆቻችን ፕሮግራሞቻችንን እና አገልግሎቶቻችንን እና የማህበረሰብ ተሳትፎ ጥረቶቻችንን በማቀድ እና በመተግበር ረገድ ሙሉ አጋሮች ናቸው።

እኛ ለረዳናቸው እያንዳንዱ ደንበኛ፣ ቤተሰብ እና ሰፈር ሁሉን አቀፍ አቀራረብን እናመጣለን። ፕሮግራሞቻችን እና አገልግሎቶቻችን በባህላዊ እና ቋንቋዊ ተገቢ እና በአሰቃቂ ሁኔታ መረጃ ላይ በተመሰረቱ በማስረጃ በተደገፉ ሞዴሎች ወጣቶች እና ቤተሰቦች በህይወት ዘመናቸው እንዲያብቡ የሚያግዙ ክህሎቶችን እና ችሎታዎችን ማዳበር እና ማጠናከር ይችላሉ።

የፕሮግራማችን የንድፈ ሃሳባዊ ማዕቀፍ አዎንታዊ የወጣቶች ልማት (PYD) ነው። ይህ ወጣቶችን ከችግሮች መስተካከል ይልቅ ለመመገብ እንደ ሀብት የሚመለከት በጥንካሬ ላይ የተመሰረተ ሞዴል ነው። ፕሮግራሞች የተነደፉት አደገኛ ባህሪን የሚቀንሱ ማህበራዊ-ስሜታዊ ብቃቶችን ለመገንባት ነው። ማንነት ትምህርትን ለማቋረጥ፣ ከትምህርት ቤት ጋር ደካማ ግንኙነት ለነበራቸው እና/ወይም ወደ ኋላ ለወደቁ ተማሪዎች አሳታፊ እና ከባህል ጋር አግባብ ያለው አካዴሚያዊ ድጋፍ ይሰጣል። ትምህርትን እና የት/ቤት ትስስርን ለማፋጠን ድጋፍ እና እንቅስቃሴዎችን እንሰጣለን ይህም ጥናቶች እንደሚያሳዩት የአካዳሚክ ስኬትን ያሻሽላል።

ጥብቅ ሂደት እና የውጤት ግምገማ የሁሉም የማንነት ፕሮግራሞች መለያ ምልክት ነው። የማህበራዊ-ስሜታዊ እና የባህሪ ደህንነት አጠቃላይ አመልካቾችን ጨምሮ ሰፋ ያለ መረጃ ይሰበሰባል፣ ይከታተላል እና በበርካታ የዳሰሳ ጥናቶች ይገመገማል፣ ይህም የደንበኛ ምርጫዎችን ለማስተናገድ በእንግሊዝኛ እና በስፓኒሽ ይገኛል።

  • Make a gift of securities
    Gifts of stocks make excellent charitable gifts. By donating stock, you avoid costly gains and significantly help Identity’s client community at the same time. We will be happy to assist you in transferring assets to complete your gift.
  • Special tax-free IRA gifts
    For those 70 1/2 or older, it is possible to make tax-favored charitable gifts from traditional and Roth IRA accounts. A total of up to $100,000 per year can be transferred directly from traditional or Roth IRAs to one or more qualified charities, such as Identity, free from federal income tax. Amounts given in this way count toward required IRA minimum withdrawal amounts for the year of the gift.  Check with your tax advisor for more information.
  • Make a planned gift
    For some donors, a planned gift – or other type of deferred giving arrangement – may better suit your financial and planning needs. These can be structured through a variety of vehicles, including a bequest in a will, a trust arrangement, and other income-producing vehicles such as life insurance and annuities. In considering a planned gift, it is best to consult your tax, legal, and financial advisor(s). We will be happy to work with you and your advisor(s) to structure a gift. If you have any questions or need help with your donation, please reach out to development@Identity-youth.org.
  • Learn about The Lift Fund
    The Lift Fund provides short-term financial relief to Identity clients facing truly extraordinary crises or hardship. It was created in 2019 in honor of Identity Co-Founder Candace Kattar to ensure her legacy of never giving up on any young person in need.
  • Learn about our Annual Back-to-School Supply Drive
    Starting a new school year is difficult for students whose connection to school is insecure or fragile. This is especially true for those who are living in poverty and/or are new to our community and system of education. Help us fill their backpacks with the supplies they need to start on an equal footing. Each new backpack filled with age-appropriate supplies costs about $50. Learn more!
