Your Giving Changes Stories

At Convos Youth Zone, every gift directly supports youth in our community by providing a safe place to belong, positive mentorship, and life-giving programs. Your generosity helps create an environment where young people feel seen, supported, valued, and where they can discover purpose, hope, and confidence.

    Youth need a place where they can relax, be themselves, and feel protected from negative influences.

    2. You support mentorship.

    Your giving helps us offer guidance, encouragement, and trusted adults who care deeply.

    3. You strengthen our community.

    Healthy youth become healthy adults. Your support helps shape strong futures for the next generation.

Your support makes it possible for youth to experience caring mentorship, healthy friendships, and meaningful programs throughout the week. Many young people in Lincoln face challenges such as loneliness, anxiety, and a lack of safe spaces to connect after school. Through your giving, Convos can continue to be a place where every teen feels welcomed, encouraged, and equipped with tools to navigate life.

Every donation, big or small, helps provide snacks, activities, supplies, sports equipment, program materials, and the everyday essentials needed to run a safe and supportive youth centre. Most importantly, your partnership empowers us to show up for teens consistently with compassion, presence, and practical help.
