Y.E.R.I. empowers youth to actively participate in the entire process—planning events, engaging with local businesses, helping set up raffle stations, learning communication skills, and developing leadership confidence. Each raffle directly finances youth opportunities while simultaneously strengthening local businesses through a 10%-30% give-back depending on partnership model local business and location choose. By combining creativity, mentorship, and community collaboration, the Y.E.R.I. Foundation provides youth with safe guidance, positive role models, and meaningful experiences that prepare them for adulthood and future success.
