Sponsor, underwrite, or attend an event

We are an organization that values community, so naturally one of our favorite ways to raise money is by bringing our community together for a great cause. Click here to learn more about our upcoming events and how you can get involved.

In-kind gifts of goods and services

We are often in need of specific equipment, supplies, and services in our computer and construction training programs, and in the academic classroom. Can you provide a nutritious breakfast for our students one day a month? How about organizing a book drive for our school library? Have any used computer equipment for our computer refurbishing program? Contact us to find out what’s on our current wish list.

Other forms of giving

How can I have an impact

For many of our students, PYB is the one place they can count on. Beyond our exceptional programs and services, we regularly help students with life’s essentials as needed, such as:

emergency food
clothing
housing and utilities
child care
transportation
basic hygiene and household supplies

Your gift can have a direct impact on our students.

$50 makes it possible for 10 students to eat a healthy breakfast on school-wide testing days so they can focus on their test.

$75 buys a monthly bus pass so a PYB college student can have reliable transportation between school and work.

$100 provides school supplies for five students.

$150 partially covers the GED testing fees for one student to complete high school and move on towards college, an apprenticeship, or additional training.

$250 helps provide a student with a laptop, internet connection, and school supplies so they can participate in our digital classroom.

$500 strengthens PYB’s vocational training programs, ensuring we are able to continue to prepare young people for careers in the trades.

$1,000 helps bolster PYB’s student emergency relief fund to meet student basic needs such as housing, childcare and more so students can focus on their education and their future.
