SWIFT STATEMENT

Swift Youth Foundation stands in solidarity with all those who are fighting for a better and more just world. In our 40 years of existence, we have never stopped doing the work to provide year-round resources and programming for communities that may not otherwise have them and to offer nothing but love, respect, and dignity to every single person that touches our organization.
 
At Swift, we envision a future of youth and teens who are equipped with the leadership skills to reach their full potential and are inspired to carry out a lifelong commitment to their communities. We know that this vision cannot be fully realized for our community until systemic injustice and racism are eliminated from our society and we believe unequivocally that black lives matter.
 
Among our core values is a belief that youth, teens and young adults with a commitment to social action are critical in building a better world. That’s why we are proud to be an organization that empowers the voices of people of color and support them when they use their voice to make a difference. We also want our volunteers, donors and providers to be proud of their involvement in our organization every step of the way.  We will continue to listen to their voices so that we can be better serve our community.
