Opening Doors to Personal Freedom

Your support helps iBme teens experience something precious – the personal freedom to know and be who they are, and to celebrate it in a loving community.

“It really taught me that I lack nothing.” – Ritu, age 17

Why Your Gift Matters

A moment of life-changing insight, a new friend who speaks right to your heart, a circle of people that can hold your struggles, a dance party like no other – these are the memories our teens cherish from iBme retreats.

Since 2017, iBme has provided 2,023 youth (78% of total participants) with $1.7 million in tuition assistance. In 2020 and 2021 nearly 4,000 participants accessed our COVID-response online programs. Many were offered at no cost, and no one was turned away for lack of funds. 2022 is a year of re-emergence, integration, and growth – online programs continue and a full schedule of residential retreats return.

With your support we can open more doors and ensure that every teen is fully supported at a time when it’s needed most.

Please learn more about our current impact in our 2021 Annual Report.
