The Walk is your opportunity to stand up, speak out, and create resources for those that cannot simply walk away from their current abuse. We ask you to join us in supporting those families who have been affected by domestic violence, neglect, and incarceration. We hope to help families overcome their adversities with social and therapeutic programs. We seek to educate and empower these individuals so they have a chance at becoming healthy survivors. 

​

Y-Empowerment, Inc., is a non-profit organization that’s main objective is that of helping youth who have experienced domestic violence overcome their adversities and help them live healthy and productive lives. At Y-Empowerment Inc., we provide several services to domestic violence victims such as, Domestic Violence Counseling and Advocacy, Anger Management and Parenting Classes, Sexual Abuse Prevention classes, Supervised Visitation, as well as CPR and First Aid Certifications.

On July 4, 2021, Y-Empowerment will be hosting a virtual fundraiser to launch our newest program THE WALK; where our CBO will be walking across America highlighting statistics surrounding child abuse and who people can turn to for help, and how you can help! The Walk is Y-Empowerment’s vision of bringing awareness and aid in the prevention of child abuse within Kern County. We provide services for children who have experienced abuse, witnessed domestic violence, or have parents who are or have been incarcerated. We do this, through Youth mentoring, social interaction, education, and empowerment of themselves with our daily workshops, retreats, and camps.

 

We are dedicated to enabling our youth to follow the walk into a safe and healthy life. Your sponsorships would go to creating and maintaining our safe house where youth would freely be able participate in mentorships programs, as well as create and maintain our very own camp where youth will be able to participate in weekend

retreats and summer camps. Your sponsorship will be a tax-deductible contribution that will aid in making great strides in eradicating child abuse in Kern County. Your name will also be recognized on our websites as donors and at all our events that will be put on through the year. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and about Y-Empowerment’s THE WALK. This is a very exciting time for us, and we hope that you become a sponsor and join in on our journey.

THE WALK is our effort to bring to light how YOU can stop and prevent child abuse!
