Shine Cville empowers teenagers, especially LGBTQ+ teens, to build confidence, connection, and life skills through inclusive social programs, supportive spaces, and educational opportunities. All of our programs are offered free of charge. Your support helps us provide Shine On! and Shine Ally Bags, Shine-To-Go activity boxes, and welcoming Shine Social events throughout Charlottesville and surrounding communities. Donations of gift cards, snacks, beverages, activity supplies, self-care items, and other needed products help us reach more teens and keep every Shine experience free.
Thank you for supporting Shine Cville! All donated items and gift cards will be used to support our free programs for teens. We especially welcome items that can be used in Shine On! and Shine Ally Bags, Shine-To-Go Boxes, and Shine Social events. Please contact us if you have questions about a specific donation or would like to support Shine in another way.
