The mission of the Urban Ranger Corps is to help prepare at-risk inner city youth for responsible and productive futures through a program of disciplined work experience and service in their community; leadership development; and individualized planning for post-High School careers. 

The Urban Ranger Corps (URC) makes available to boys and young men ages 12-18 attending middle or high schools in the Kansas City Missouri School District or a Kansas City Charter School, a unique opportunity to develop the appropriate life skills necessary for them to become successful and contributing members of society.  URC is designed to assist boys and young men in discovering their individual talents, skills and abilities while guiding them successfully from childhood to adulthood. 

The young men we serve live in high-risk Kansas City neighborhoods having the highest police referral rates to Family Court (64100, 64127, 64128, 64130, 64132); all are enrolled in public or charter schools in Kansas City; the majority of them come from single parent households living at or below the poverty level; and  all are exposed to prevelant criminogenic factors that include neighborhood economic deprivation; high crime and violence rates; availability of drugs; low expectations/aspirations for school; and chronic absenteeism.  Our goal is to enroll young men in the program the summer before they enter 7^th grade and retain them in the program until they graduate high school. 

We are looking for volunteers with expertise in:  Development, Marketing and Fundraising
 
Desired industry affiliations or community connections:  Construction, Tech/Start Up Companies and Marketing/Communications

American Wolf Foundation was founded in 2018 to provide support for endangered wolf conservation, awareness and coexistence initiatives, with a special focus on the critically-endangered American red wolf (C. rufus), once native to Missouri. AWF is structured with a Board of Directors to manage the organization and an Advisory Board to provide input on science and policy. On Giving Tuesday 2019, American Wolf Foundation launched a bold new campaign to raise $150,000 to help build at least 30 new enclosures for red wolves in captivity to double the captive population, a critical step USFWS says is necessary to ensure the continued existence of the species, and a future reintroduction of a new wild population.



AWF is seeking Board members that are passionate, hands-on, and willing to put in the time to build this incredible organization into a nationwide nonprofit dedicated to endangered wolf conservation, supporting the many facilities involved in captive breeding of American red wolves and Mexican gray wolves. We are interested in Board members of all stripes, and particularly interested in increasing the diversity of our Board. However, our most urgent need is more Board members with grantwriting, financial planning, and donor solicitation skills, and the follow-through to take on those activities personally.
