HELP US EMPOWER YOUTH

OUR YOUTH NEED OUR HELP.

As our youth are experiencing a mental health crisis, it is crucial that we let them know they are not alone, that their feelings are valid, and we are here to continue to provide an outlet and a safe way for them to explore their emotions through creative expression. This creative outlet can be a powerful tool in managing anxiety and depression.

Your support helps heal the pain under-resourced and marginalized youth may be experiencing as many grapple with mental illness and cyberbullying, both of which have had dramatic increases this year.

Since 2011, Free2Luv has been committed to supporting youth’s mental health through the arts, and we remain unwavering in that commitment.

With your support, we can continue to positively impact youth in need.

I absolutely ADORE Free2luv! We have partnered with them to provide Express It books for our teen group, and they love them! I've really seen a difference in these kiddos since starting the program last school year! I love how they have integrated creativity and mental health in a way that the kids enjoy! I wish I would have had something like this when I was their age! So appreciative for everything they do!

I've been a supporter and fan of Free2Luv for several years now and I will be for life! This organization really speaks to kids where they're at and offers them the support they need in a creative way - through art and music. Mental health is so important right now and the arts are a powerful tool to heal and empower anyone going through a hard time. When you're a teen, it means so much to know someone cares and will listen without judgment. I know the safe spaces Free2Luv creates are changing lives. And I'm so happy our youth have them. Thanks for existing, Free2Luv!!

I joined @free_2_luv last year because I struggled with self-confidence due to the many negative labels given to me. The most commonly used words were nerd, fat, ugly, untalented and annoying. Truth is, I still struggle, but I am lucky to have my family and friends. I know not everyone is as lucky to have that support system, so I wanted to help others. Becoming a youth advocate for Free2Luv was fate! It fell into my lap when I was trying to find my smile again and help others. I am still working on my self-confidence and really struggle making friends but I am feeling blessed more and more every day.

As a single mother of a teenage daughter, it’s so vital to me that my daughter feels empowered and I found that this organization does just that. They stress the importance of being true to yourself and staying strong in your beliefs and convictions and not falling victim to peer pressure. My daughter had the privilege of participating in one of their empowerment workshops and it was a really powerful experience for her. I love Free2Luv and what they stand for and hope that every teen can be touched by this movement. We look forward to getting more involved!

Free2Luv is a non-profit organization that saves the lives of thousands of young people every year. I am touched to the core of my being by how they help our youth in the most gentle manner to find their voice, strength, integrity, and sovereignty. They are dedicated to helping our struggling youth by supporting them through love, kindness, and generosity. Free2Luv has developed programs, art projects, and books, formed advocacy groups, and created personalized care packages to encourage and ignite our young to move forward in their lives in healthy, caring ways that promote a love of self and others. If you have ever wondered if there is a non-profit organization you can wholeheartedly stand behind in their integrity, love, and generosity of spirit, this organization is one you can be proud to say you are part of.

I had the pleasure of working with Free2Luv last year as a grant researcher and writer. I was moved by their commitment, hard work, and professionalism in improving the lives of disadvantaged youth everywhere, whether it’s fighting bullying, helping them to increase self-esteem, developing their communication and job skills, or encouraging them to accept and embrace their individuality. Through art empowerment workshops and events, Kym and Tonya have put their cause to work, getting measurable results and achieving their goal of helping to make the world a braver, kinder place.
