Proud supporters of the impactful work of Ishmael Pruitt, MS & Project Optimism! Expanding opportunities for local youth through collaboration & partnership!!
Today, I had the opportunity to visit two amazing partners who not only awarded but also administered a grant that has been vital to the success of Project Optimism's youth mentorship program. This grant has allowed us to make a tangible difference in the lives of the young people we serve, empowering our mentors to support and uplift the next generation of leaders. Often, grant administrators don’t get the chance to see or feel the impact their work creates firsthand, so it was a true privilege to share the success stories, growth, and transformations that their support has made possible. It was only right to leave them with a small token of appreciation. Grateful for partnerships like these that make our vision of empowering youth through mentorship a reality! 💫 The Nonprofit Partnership & Long Beach Mayors Fund. #ProjectOptimism #YouthDevelopment #MentorshipMatters #Partnerships #Gratitude #CommunityImpact #LongBeach Karissa Selvester Amrita Khalsa Jazrin Ybarra Michelle Byerly @Hilary Diaz
