Mission Statement:
You & Me is a strategy-driven program designed to bring awareness to the importance of self while narrowing the unnecessary gap between men and women. Our initiatives, designed to unravel the roadblocks, will strengthen the community, children, and youth, through the implementation of a comprehensive grassroots approach.
To this end, we offer the following:
Have you ever felt a need to be part of something bigger than you could ever imagine, and in doing so, make yourself a better person? Well, you can, and you can begin right now. It’s easy, extremely rewarding, and a whole lot of fun. It’s called You and Me. It is a simple name for a program packed full of connection, community, and self-worth on a grassroots playing field where everyone is on the same team. A new beginning where honest, trustworthy, and goal-minded people can come together to create “life-changing champions” right here in our community and make “everyone’s” hopes, dreams, and goals come true.
Why is it so important? Volunteering is the backbone of every advocacy campaign. It’s the cornerstone of relationships where you will gain a deep sense of fulfillment, satisfaction, and gratification from helping others despite differences in social and cultural norms. Meaning and purpose are the essential tools that drive self-esteem and boost our desire to help others. Syracuse and the surrounding area will become the epicenter to help others navigate their stressful situations while enhancing giving, influencing, and nurturing skills. Everyone then becomes a beneficiary of a stronger sense of well-being and a better self. The solution is to break the seemingly daunting obstacles we face into small solvable pieces.
Regardless of age, status, race, or gender, You & Me can solve many of the problems
plaguing our great nation through effective altruism. We can;
*Abate prejudice
*Strengthen the family
*Dispense effective love, kindness, and well-being to those with diagnosable mental disorders
*Create jobs
*Initiate a transformative mentoring program
*Usher in a program of volunteers to create a notable beautification program
*Enable children to blossom for what they represent in the life of humanity
*Nurture the indispensable cultural contributions of those who add meaning, purpose, and
the impact they have on the world.
*Reach and teach millions of citizens of all ages from coast to coast about America’s great
heritage of liberty.
Join us today to become a volunteer in launching “Makeover Madness” where you will be teamed up with a professional interior designer to give one special teenage girl the bedroom she always dreamed of. While she spends the day getting pampered, our volunteers will be painting, organizing, and implementing any other necessary modifications needed to transform it into a peaceful sanctuary—a retreat where she can become more of an extension of herself. A teen’s bedroom is significant because it is directly related to the primary developmental task of adolescence, which will build a stronger personal identity. She will be relocated to a friend’s house for as long as the project takes to complete. After she takes in the excitement of seeing her bedroom makeover, a few days later, she and her mother will be presented with corsages and whisked away in a chauffeur-driven limo to an area restaurant where they will be treated to a most enjoyable dinner.
