THE 2020 DAREARTS
YOUTH LEADERSHIP AWARDS
S P O N S O R S H I P PAC K AG E
This year’s Youth Leadership Awards is not only a celebration of the incredible accomplishments
of our young changemakers but also a call to action for all of us to come together in support of
children for whom social distancing efforts can quickly become complete isolation.
Social distancing is challenging for everyone but for the young people we serve, it can quickly
lead to a mental health crisis. Imagine being 9 years old and living in a home struggling with
poverty during this time or being 13 and living with the fear of heightened domestic violence
and addictions in your home.
This is the situation of many DAREarts students and it’s our job
to make sure that they’re not forgotten.
Together we can make sure that they know they matter and that they have a safe space where
they can feel lifted up by their DAREarts community.
message from DAREarts
That’s why for this year’s Youth Leadership Awards, we’re asking you to stand with us, even as
we’re forced to stay apart. By becoming a sponsor, you’ll directly support the emotional health
and wellbeing of underserved young people by providing them with DAREarts Kits – our online
and remote programming solution to continue service during social distancing measures.
100% of your sponsorship will go to providing this vital lifeline
to young people who need us most right now.
In recognition and gratitude for your investment, we will send your top clients and colleagues
a beautiful Photobook containing the stories of the impact your support makes possible, along
THE 2020 with a note from us letting them know a donation has been made in their name.

DAREarts Kits are designed to support and nurture the emotional and social wellbeing of
young people during this moment of upheaval. Our rational is simple – if we create spaces
where our students can feel heard, connect with supportive adults and peers and have the
opportunity to creatively express themselves, we can prevent them from needing to seek
more intensive supports later on, or, if they are already at that crisis point, we can surface those
needs and make sure they can get the help they need from mental health professionals.
We see this as an upstream approach to protecting the mental
health of children and youth before they reach a crisis point.
