Western Massachusetts is facing deep budget cuts—and our youth are feeling it the hardest. Mentorship programs, mental health services, and safe community spaces are disappearing when they’re needed most.

​

At Follow My Steps, we’re stepping in—but the demand is growing faster than our resources. That’s why we’re launching our boldest goal yet: to build a permanent youth empowerment center right here in the community. A safe, welcoming space where young people can learn, grow, and belong year-round.

​

But we can’t do it alone.

​

Whether you're a philanthropist seeking lasting impact or a neighbor looking to give what you can—your support matters.

​

Every donation fuels free mentorship, financial literacy, and mental health programs for youth across Springfield, Holyoke, Chicopee, and beyond. Every dollar brings us closer to breaking cycles and building something that lasts.

 

This isn’t just a fundraiser. It’s a movement. Let’s take the next step—together.
