IBC Bank and American YouthWorks are Raising One Million Nickels for At-Risk Youth
This year IBC Bank and AYW are raising One Million Nickels to provide education, service opportunities and job skills training to youth. Members of the public can donate at any IBC Bank and branches will compete to raise the most funds. For thirty one years AYW has focused on drop out recovery and workforce preparedness and has also taught youth about the importance of giving back to their community by involving them in service projects such as litter clean ups, trail building and home repair for low income Austinites. Donations will help cover costs of critical programs for AYW youth such as educational instruction for mothers and their babies, free school lunches, tools for job training sites, leadership development programming and opportunities for community volunteer days.
The kick-off event is February 26, 10AM at IBC Bank, 2817 E. Cesar Chavez, Austin, TX 78702
You can help too! Save your nickels and bring them to any IBC Bank location. You can also send a check to American YouthWorks or donate online.
