Defend with 10

One ask, Empower Many

At the heart of every big change, there’s a small act. And often, it’s the power of many small actions coming together that makes the biggest difference. That’s the spirit behind the Defend with 10 Campaign.

In the U.S., there are 1 in 3 youth who will grow up without a mentor who needs one. It’s more like 1 in 2 youth in Flint and Genesee County. With just a small contribution, you can help create more life-changing relationships for young people who need them most. But here’s where it gets exciting:

We’re asking you to give just $10

Why $10? Because we believe in the power of small actions adding up. If each of our 100 supporters asks just 10 people in their life to donate $10, we can raise $10,000 to fund more mentorships. It’s simple math, but the impact? Huge.
