About

There is a mental health emergency with today's youth. We are pushing back.

We raise money for youth-focused programming, events and initiatives that inspire kids to Do Tough Things. We believe that by encouraging our youth to Do Tough Things, we nurture in them mental and emotional strength and resiliency, as well as develop their communion and connection to one another through shared feats and in-person interactions. We believe there are many ways of doing "tough" things, and hope to expand the consciousness of our kids about what "tough" actually means.

We are currently co-sponsoring a fundraising drive with the Northfield non-profit charity Whole Child Learning. This fundraising drive will fund a part-time Programming Director for Northfield Tough, Do Tough Things' first local chapter, located in Northfield, VT, as well as for a Community Room for Northfield Tough for educational events for Northfield Tough members and their families. As part of this initial fundraising drive, we are also supporting the creation of an early childhood center serving children ages 2-6 in this local community. We hope to scale our proof-of-concept for these programs to youth in additional communities across the U.S. in early 2024.
