Thank you for your interest in setting up a fundraiser on behalf of the Adolescent Health Working Group (AHWG). Your support of AHWG ensures that we can continue to coordinate and collaborate with youth, parents and caregivers, healthcare providers, caseworkers, educators, youth advocates, and others to support the needs of young people.
Setting up a page takes less than five minutes and can be done on your schedule. We help with all of the technical aspects and provide guidance on communication. The most important part is a willingness to share why AHWG’s work is critical.
