Giving Opportunities

YOU, Inc. accepts both monetary and in-kind donations year round.

for all ages and genders to feminine products. Finally, YOU, Inc. will be launching the public phase of its “Forward to Fifty: Creating Opportunities for Youth” Capital Campaign shortly this fall.

Donations for the Capital Campaign can be made online and by mail, and questions about pledging support can be directed to the Chief Executive Officer, Kristine Bostek, at

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer opportunities at YOU, Inc. often include one-day site clean-ups at our youth sites, mentoring or tutoring students in our college success programs, and serving on committees such as Young Professionals. 


I became involved with YOU Inc. 30 years ago when a non-profit on which I served as Board President merged into the organization. Most of my volunteer activities have involved youth and adolescents. Little did I realize at the time that my son would later attend YOU Inc.’s alternative education program from grades 7-12. Once he graduated, I stepped onto the board again and I am now in my third rotation as a board member. Over the last three decades, I have chaired committees and held various officer positions, including Treasurer and now Chairman of the BOD.  YOU Inc. has become a part of my extended family.
