We’re incredibly grateful to the Johansen-Larsen Foundation for making our 2025 Duenna Empowerment Program summer session possible—and so impactful. Thanks to their generous support, we welcomed more youth than expected, extended our session hours, and created a vibrant, inclusive space where belonging, resilience, and life skills could flourish.
Participants cooked together, learned together, and connected in ways that left them asking, “Can it keep going?” Your funding didn’t just support a program—it helped spark confidence, connection, and a stronger future for young people in our community.
Thank you for believing in Duenna and the youth it serves.
