SUPPORT US and HONOR SOMEONE SPECIAL
As families navigate the journey of adolescence, sometimes our stars are the special people who shine their light on the path for our children: moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, teachers and friends, among others.
Make a donation of $100 to Navigate Adolescence in honor of a person who helps light the way for your family, and we will provide you with a gift to share with that special person: a rustic star-shaped wind chime or an insulated camper mug, with the message, “You Are a Guiding Star”. We’ll also include a “Guiding Star” certificate.
We depend on your support to continue to expand the depth, size, and reach of our programming designed to support kids and their parents as they navigate the bumpy road of adolescence. Raising $5,000 this spring will help us reach that goal.
