The Green Ajah have decided to focus on Crisis Outreach. Many of the organizations our Ajah have brought up are focused on Youth in Crisis, but having a more broad term also allows us to focus on all the charities our group has discussed.
We want to support Crisis Outreach because many of these organizations are important to us because they offered help when needed or we have worked with them directly and know the good they do. Also, this focus allows us to contribute as a group on a broader scale, but also allows our Ajah members to help out locally within their community.
Some of the organizations that we are looking at:
(Note: We may update this with a main organization per quarter. I'll find out what the Ajah wants to do and will update.)
Covenant House - Covenant House shelters, feeds, and supports youth in crisis. Runaways, discarded, orphaned, lgbtq+, BIPOC, differently abled, all young people in need are fed, clothed and provided bed and counseling.
Trevor Project- LBGTQ teens in crisis.
You Are Not Alone- Hotline that those suffering from depression, mental illness, etc can call and reach out for support from their community.
RandomActs.org- Random acts of kindness each day, the world would become a much better place. These random acts can be anything from buying a meal for a homeless person to volunteering your time reading to children in the hospital, to donating money to worthy programs within your community.
Organizations that are more specific or local to group members:
Organization to help the Village of Wapa in Burkina Faso
Norma's House - We are a non-profit agency that provides services and programs to children who are alleged victims of sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, children who have witnessed a violent crime, and drug-endangered children. We are an accredited member of Children's Advocacy Centers of Texas, Inc. and National Children's Alliance (NCA) and receive funding through grants, private donations, and fundraisers.
Legacy Ranch- Legacy Ranch is a non-profit Licensed Foster Care and Adoption agency that works directly with Child Protective Services to find homes for children who have been abused, neglected or exploited. We founded Legacy Ranch because, as foster and adoptive parents ourselves; we recognized the incredible need for safe and loving foster or adoptive homes for these children.
Our goal is to donate our time, monetarily or in other ways depending on each organization.
