Support Our Youth
Every youth in our community deserves an opportunity to discover their passion, build their confidence, make new friends, and live healthy and joyful lives. Your contribution will allow Lane County youth to explore a new career path in the gaming industry, share their artwork in local galleries, pursue a nursing or computer science degree, dive into culinary adventures, access financial education and tools to save for their first car, and much more!

“Supporting Spark at Booth-Kelly to come to fruition was a feel-good moment for us. We’ve seen firsthand the positive results Connected Lane County creates and we hope contributing to the program helps make a positive impact on the community. We were excited to contribute as a family to create opportunities for youth who might not otherwise have access to hands-on training and opportunity.”
