SUMMER FUNDING 2026

For the past 2 years we have submitted a comprehensive proposal for summer and year-round youth and young adult programming. It included multiple industry workforce development, organizational partnerships, established space already occupied for programming, a full current & planned itinerary of workshops, public events, mental health services, and mentoring opportunities. TRUST ME...I am willing to share the entire proposal.

BUT...if you're not on the "preferred" or "political buddy list", they (City of Columbus) won't give you any consideration. If you don't believe me, take a POLL of our grass-root organizations and programs who are actually doing the work and listen to their stories!

We have roots.

We have proof.
