Who We Are
Together With Us is a youth-powered 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2021. Our mission is to bridge the gap between human empathy and innovative problem-solving to serve those in need. What began as a local community initiative has evolved into a multi-sector organization that manages local outreach for underserved families, supports patient wellness in regional hospitals, and leads international fund drives. By combining hands-on compassion with strategic partnerships, we create measurable, lasting impact.
