Seeds Give 8/28

Help Seeds raise $10,000 in support of our growing effort to interrupt the school to prison pipeline by providing brave spaces where Midlands teens can share, learn, process and grow. Give 8/28 builds on the momentum created by Black Philanthropy Month with one concentrated day of giving for Black-led and Black benefitting nonprofits.

Sowing Seeds into the Midlands ('Seeds') is a grassroots nonprofit committed to supporting youth ages 13-18 as they seek to lead thriving lives. Based in Columbia, South Carolina, we offer support services and tailored programming to help teens make informed decisions that benefit their futures.  From life skills workshops and therapeutic gardening to mentoring and mindfulness practices, we create safe spaces for teens to engage authentically and respectfully with themselves and the world around them.

While it's no secret that we're champions for fun and games, we're also heavy advocates for the serious work -- the decriminalization of adolescence. Our work with policymakers aims to reform a broken youth criminal justice system on both state and federal levels.
