For Funders & Grantmakers

Nawlage Is Power partners with schools, families, community organizations, businesses, professionals, and volunteers to expand opportunities for youth through education, mentorship, career exploration, creative experiences, and community engagement.

We believe that every young person deserves access to the relationships, resources, experiences, and opportunities that can help them discover their potential and envision a future filled with possibilities.

A young person's future can be influenced by more than what happens inside a classroom.

Access to mentors, career exposure, educational enrichment, creative experiences, positive community relationships, and opportunities to explore different paths can help young people better understand what is possible for their lives.

Yet access to these opportunities is not always equal.

Nawlage Is Power Inc. works to help bridge those gaps by connecting youth with people, resources, experiences, and opportunities that can expand their perspective and strengthen their path forward.

• Create Access: Connect young people with resources and opportunities that may otherwise be difficult to access.
• Build Connections: Bring students together with mentors, professionals, educators, businesses, and community organizations.
• Expand Exposure: Introduce youth to careers, educational pathways, creative opportunities, and experiences that broaden their understanding of what is possible.
• Empower Potential: Encourage young people to recognize their strengths, explore their interests, and pursue their goal
• Supporting the Whole Child:  Access to resources, supportive relationships and healthy environments can help youth thrive. 

Our work brings together multiple parts of the community around a shared goal: creating greater opportunities for young people.

• Students & Youth: We provide opportunities, resources, experiences, and connections designed to support youth development and exploration.
• Families: We connect parents and guardians with resources, opportunities, and community support that can benefit their children.
• Schools & Educators: We collaborate with schools and educators to identify needs, provide supplemental resources, and create meaningful opportunities for students.
• Community: We engage businesses, professionals, volunteers, organizations, and community members who want to invest in the next generation.

Pathways & Possibilities is an emerging youth development initiative designed to connect students with career exploration, mentorship, community professionals, educational opportunities, real-world experiences, and resources that can broaden their understanding of their future.

Through collaboration with schools and community partners, we seek to learn what students are interested in, identify opportunities to connect those interests with real-world experiences, and introduce young people to people and pathways they may not otherwise encounter.

• Career exploration
• Mentorship
• Community professionals
• Educational enrichment
• Real-world experiences
• Creative exploration
• Networking
• Life and professional skills
• Exposure to different career pathways
• Community engagement

We support young people through educational resources, school-based initiatives, scholarships, student support, supply distributions, and opportunities designed to encourage learning and personal development.

We recognize that a young person's ability to learn, grow and reach their potential is influenced by more than educational opportunities alone. Access to nutritious food, supportive relationships, wellness education and essential community resources can play an important role in the health and well-being of young people and their families.

Nawlage Is Power is working to expand its community-based efforts by building partnerships that help connect youth and families with resources, experiences and opportunities that support healthier lives.

Through collaboration with schools, healthcare professionals, community organizations and local businesses, we aim to address barriers, promote well-being and create supportive environments where young people and families can thrive.

Our health and wellness focus areas:

• Food security and access to nutritious food
• Youth mental well-being and resilience
• Family wellness education and community resources
• Access to health-related services and information
• Healthcare career exploration and mentorship

Our goal is to complement the work of families while helping students access resources and experiences that can contribute to their success.
