A contribution to the campaign is the best way to make the greatest
impact on WAVE and the communities we serve.
The Honorable John E. "Buck" Chapoton chairs the Invest In Opportunity campaign with the active involvement of a committee of leaders from business, education, and government.
Together they set a goal of $2.5 million to advance WAVE's work.
With your generosity, WAVE will:
 Make WAVE's programs, training, and services available
in up to 50 communities across the country, serving
4,000 to 5,000 at-risk young people each year
Permit the free distribution of all of WAVE's curricula
and training materials on the Internet, making those
resources available to countless more communities, schools, professionals, and young people
Provide college scholarships for deserving WAVE youth
who complete high school and are ready to pursue
college
Ensure financing is available for the research and
development required to design and implement the
National Youth Opportunity Leadership Association, a
nationwide youth membership organization focused on
leadership, citizenship, and on-the-job success. WAVE
intends to rival the street gangs that youth might
otherwise join.
