Thanks for stepping up to support our youth with Punx With Purpose!All of our volunteers who interact directly with youth (i.e., Street Outreach and Stormie’s Place) must pass a background check.To ensure we have committed volunteers, we ask that you please cover the $25 background check fee. If you’d prefer to work behind the scenes, a background is not required, but is preferred.Thank you for helping us keep youth safe and our operating costs focused on youth needs.

Your gift fuels community-led support for at-risk youth in Marion and Polk Counties. Punx With Purpose brings peers with lived experience directly to parks, streets, and pop-ups so youth ages 11–18 can connect to the resources they need, free of judgment--meeting them where they are, as they are. Every donation keeps our youth drop-in center open, food pantry stocked, and our PUNX IN THE PARK resource fair and concert free and accessible. You help create safer spaces where young people can gather, be heard, and find the resources they need to move forward.
