Reading SVIP

Sarah Dewitz

Sarah Dewitz was inspired after reading about kids facing hardships in a nearby community. It saddened her to learn that they lacked some basic necessities like books. “It made me think how I would feel if my world did not have books in it,” she said. “With the hard times many families are facing, some might not even have a car to drive to the library.”

Sarah was just ten years old when she started “Just 1 Book”. To date, she has collected around half a million books and even raised money for a bookmobile that takes books directly to the communities in need.

Jackson and Tristan Kelley

When brothers Jackson and Tristan Kelley learned that many kids start school without school supplies, they decided to do something to help. After learning about kids in foster care, homeless shelters, and others who just couldn't afford the necessary supplies, they held a drive to address the need.

That was more than five years ago, and their nonprofit, “Backpack for New Beginnings”, is still going strong today. Since 2009, they have donated over 10,000 backpacks to kids in need in the Greater Boston area.

Elayna

When Elayna's mom told her that it just takes one person to make a difference, she took that to heart. She created GAB Girls, or “Girls Against Bullying Girls”, an organization to encourage girls to support one another, rather than tearing each other down.

The GAB Goals are clear. The mission is to bring awareness to anti-bullying and suicide prevention, provide support for victims across the nation, and promote kindness, self-love, and goal setting. What an amazing initiative and it's still going strong!

Street Games

Who are we?

‘Street Games' is a sports charity that changes people's lives and the whole communities. We are proud to give young people exactly what they are looking for – the chance to enjoy sports, give back to their communities and aspire to greater things. Seventy-two percent of young people have said that they would like the chance to try more sporting activities, but that they can't afford to.

What do we do?

‘Doorstep Sport' is what we do – we bring sport close to home in disadvantaged communities, at the right time, for the right price and in the right style. Sport is great! It provides fitness, fun and friendship opportunities, and since 2007 we have been using it to improve the lives of countless young people. It teaches them skills and knowledge which they can then use to make their own way in life.

What do we offer?

We have been speaking to a lot of young people about sports they would like to be involved in, and these are the answers: boys between the ages of 16 and 19 have voted for playing football, badminton and tennis, going swimming, cycling, running and to the gym and doing adventure sports. The girls have chosen similarly, except for netball rather than football, plus dance and fitness classes. Multi-sports sessions have also proved popular with everyone.

What do we want?

We are bringing sport to your neighbourhood, and we need some assistance. We are looking for young volunteers for this task. We need young people both to take part in our wonderful sporting activities and also to look after and coach the younger children. So, if you are aged between 16 and 19, contact us if you would like to be involved. We need YOU!
