What We Do

Create Awareness

Through relationship-building and strategic partnerships, we establish connected communities united by a shared goal. We share stories and updates to help the community understand where support is needed most.

Fundraise

We generate direct financial support to youth education, arts, sports, science & technology, and wellbeing initiatives. By investing in community‑based activities and barrier‑free access, we help young people learn, participate, and thrive.

Facilitate Partnerships

We connect the dots. We bring together schools, nonprofits, local businesses, and community groups to support aligned youth initiatives. We strengthen collaboration, streamline resources, and create a unified approach to supporting youth in Diamond Valley.

Hub of Resources

We serve as a central point for valuable information. Through our newsletters and podcasts, we connect youth and families to events, educational needs, and opportunities to participate in the Diamond Valley region.

📚 Education

Nurturing Lifelong Learning. Education is the foundation of opportunity. Fantastic Books Bookclub for teens started with an idea from a teen and is now in it’s 2nd full year giving 15-20 teens with a free book every month and a safe space to connect. Our $20,000 donation to CIM and Turner Valley Elementary supported essential student enrichment.

Connecting Our Community. Engagement is at our core. We show up at Diamond Valley Day, host community events like the Fall and Spring Flings where we raise $’s but more importantly engage with our community and have some fun! We’ve also initiated Valley Vibes Podcast to share what’s happening in Diamond Valley!

💙 Community Support

Supporting the Village. We are there when it matters. We fund the beloved Breakfast with Santa for 100+ children, provide direct Family Support during medical crises, and partner on the Sprouts Summer Camp to offer inclusive nature and arts exploration for local families.

Our Mission

To empower Diamond Valley youth by raising awareness, increasing access, and supporting programs that foster learning, belonging, and wellbeing. We work every day to ensure that cost, circumstance, or lack of information never prevent a young person from reaching their potential.

Our Vision

A community where every young person feels supported, inspired, and equipped to build a bright future. We envision a Diamond Valley where youth have access to diverse programs—from education, arts and athletics to STEAM, leadership, and mental wellbeing initiatives—that help them discover who they are and who they can become.

Who We Serve

We support young people across the Diamond Valley region — from early childhood to teens — with a special focus on ensuring equitable access for families who face financial, geographic, or social barriers.

Why Our Work Matters

Every program funded, every partnership formed, and every barrier removed creates new pathways for youth to grow, participate, and succeed. When we uplift children and teens, we uplift families — and when we uplift families, the entire region becomes stronger, healthier, and more connected.
