LAUNCH-ing to New Levels

UrbanFUTURE recently formed LAUNCH, a friends-of group that is working to take UrbanFUTURE to the next level. The primary objective of LAUNCH is to help UrbanFUTURE grow its support base by engaging current supporters more deeply in grassroots efforts and reaching new supporters through peer-to-peer interaction. Currently, LAUNCH is comprised of current tutors and mentors who have expressed an interest in taking their volunteer participation to another level.

LAUNCH will plan and execute quarterly fundraising/friendraising events as a way to introduce new people to UrbanFUTURE. These events will provide individuals an opportunity to learn more about the work of UrbanFUTURE and how they can support our work of eliminating the achievement gap in St. Louis.

LAUNCH will also be leading a volunteer-driven campaign this fall to raise money and new donor and volunteer referrals. The campaign will culminate with the "Dine In For UrbanFUTURE" event on Wednesday, October 27th. Stay tuned for more details on how you can participate in "Dine In For UrbanFUTURE."
