Hi there, I’m Rahul, and I've been on Power To Be’s board for nearly four years, with three of those years spent as Board Chair. As we begin a new year and the start of many more adventures together, I’d like to share some of what Power To Be has been up to for the past few months.

Hi! We’re Oren and Syd, and we bring you the stories about the transformative work Power To Be does every day. As we look back on 2024, we're inspired by the incredible impact our programs had in the lives of our participants.

Hello! My name is Mike Kucherawy and I’ve been involved with Power To Be for over 15 years. It’s amazing to think back and admire how far Power To Be has come, and how many families have been enriched by this great team over the years. I love how the vision continues to grow over time, to include bigger goals and have a farther reach in terms of connection and support. I became a monthly donor because I know what an important part of our community Power To Be is, and I hope they are still thriving for generations to come.

Hi there! My name is Josée, and I’ve been volunteering with Power To Be for 21 years. What has kept me here is that through all the growth, transition, and change, Power To Be has been able to stay true to its mission and vision - making the outdoors accessible to everyone, and building community. I’m pleased to see that over the last few months Power To Be has continued to thrive, with Power To Summit being so successful. I had a team in this community-building event, and it was a lot of fun nurturing my love for hiking, the outdoors, and for sharing both with others. I look forward to Power To Be’s next endeavours and adventures, and want to thank you so much for your support - you’re making a difference!

As we begin our 26th year here at Power To Be, we are so happy to report some big progress with our program development and our brand-new certification as a Living Wage Employer. In the past few months, we have witnessed the lasting impact of hosting 23 environmental programs with many community partners as we look into the future together. We can’t wait for the adventures ahead - thank you for supporting our journey!

As we wrap up celebrating our 25th Anniversary year, we are filled with awe, gratitude, and inspiration for all of the amazing adventures and connections that have happened over the years. In the past few months, we have witnessed the lasting impact of our landscaping employment program, the amazing community engagement for our annual silent auction, and the joys and benefits of spending time together in nature. We can’t wait for the adventures ahead - thank you for supporting our journey!
