Download, print and fill out the certificate at the bottom of the page for your Ally

All of us at Youth Venture say thank you to our dedicated Allies. They do a fantastic job providing needed transportation, thoughtful advice, excitement, enthusiasm, and additional contacts in communities. An Ally is a non-controlling adult mentor who offers support and guidance to Venturers. Each team is required to have at least one Ally. Allies donate around 2-3 hours per week of their time to support the Venture Team. Youth Venture would not exist without their hard work.
