Fundraising, volunteerism, and special events are not just platforms for sharing our mission, vision, and principles. They are opportunities for personal growth, learning, and making a difference.
It is our way of engaging with young people and providing a feeling of community in a range of uplifting and forward-thinking ways.
Each touchpoint also offers the opportunity to educate and spread awareness among existing and future supporters and extend our reach in local areas and beyond.
Ruth Ellis Center events range in subject matter and scale. We are always looking for new collaborators and volunteers. Contact us today if you want to get involved, sponsor an event, or hear more about the Center.

When people craved connection most during the COVID-19 pandemic, we launched the VOICES of Ruth Ellis Center podcast as a small but mighty way to stay in touch with our local, national, and global communities.
VOICES of Ruth Ellis Center looks at current issues through a new lens: candid interviews with REC staff, youth, community partners, funders, and thought leaders nationwide.
Catch the latest VOICES of Ruth Ellis Center on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Breaker, Overcast, RadioPublic, or Pocket Casts.
