Coffee Culture

Who I’m Fundraising for: 

SVP Teens is a program of Social Venture Partners Waterloo Region (SVPWR) that unites some of the region’s most passionate youth to turn their ambitions into tangible action, create meaningful change in their communities, and inspire a life-long desire to give back. Every year, SVP Teens fundraises toward the SVP Teens Community Grant, which is awarded to a charity chosen by the teens in May. 

About My Personal Challenge:

For the months of February and March, all SVP Teens members are challenged to individually fundraise on behalf of SVP Teens. Teens like myself are taking on a personal challenge, mine being that I will wake up early every weekday to make coffee for my family before heading off to school (or virtual classes). Throughout the process, I’d love to have your cheers and support in the form of donations—all proceeds are contributed toward the SVP Teens Community Grant!

Why I’m Taking Part:

The pandemic has virtually wrecked my perception of time, and my sleep schedule has taken the brunt of that. I'm hoping that this personal challenge will help me bring my sleep health back on track, and in knowing that I'm contributing to a charitable cause, I'll be more inclined to hold myself accountable than if I were just doing it for myself!

How You Can Support Me:

Please donate to support this fundraiser! Every dollar counts, and you can feel good knowing you’re helping a local youth-led initiative achieve our annual fundraising goal. I will be documenting my progress along the way, so if you want to follow along, check out @svpteens’s Instagram stories!
