The Mirth Project

The Mirth Project Our mission: to inspire and support low income teens and former foster youth to go after their goals It's the most magical party of our year.

We fulfill our mission through two separate programs under The Mirth Project umbrella. Throughout the year we operate a program called Teens With Dreams. In this program we identify low income teens who have a real interest or a goal they would like to go after but, their parents aren't able to help them pursue it. We help them by providing the equipment, lessons and experiences they need to make

their dreams reality. At Christmas time we operate a program called The Mirth Project at Christmastime. In this program we link the Christmas wish lists of low income teens with donors.

We're only halfway through the year, and already it has been one of our most challenging.

It feels like every day brings a new urgent need. (As an example, In the last week alone, we have had to provide emergency grocery deliveries for three students). With these unexpected expenses consuming much of our budget, we are especially grateful for community partners who help make our work possible.

One of our biggest goals this summer is purchasing 20 laptops for students participating in Mirth Project at Graduation, ensuring they have the technology they need to succeed in college and trade school.

When you purchase a ticket to Christmas in July you're not just buying a really fun night out.

You're helping us say yes.

Yes to groceries when a student's food stamps run out.
Yes to a laptop for college.
Yes to transportation to work.
Yes to a school fee that stands between a student and graduation.
Yes to mental health support.

You attending and experincing our Christmas in July event is how we get to keep saying YES!

On July 24, we'll gather for an unforgettable evening inspired by the iconic movie ELF, complete with great food, live music, our famous Lucky Dip Game, and so many surprises!!!

I promise, it's not your average fundraiser.

But behind every ticket, every sponsorship, and every donation is something much bigger:

A community making sure young people have someone in their corner.
A community helping remove barriers so students can stay in school, pursue their goals, and build the future they deserve.
That's what Christmas in July makes possible.

No Safety Net places you into the life of a young person aging out of foster care experiencing life on your own.

Our goal at Mirth Project at Graduation is to make sure our students have all the support they need to not just start college, but graduate from it, too.

That’s why we send them off with the supplies they need for success: school supplies, laptops, dorm essentials, and even their preferred brands of personal care products. We work hard to ensure that “lack of supplies” is never a barrier they have to face as they begin this next chapter.

A huge thank you to this beautiful human, Lindsey Roshon, owner of Carluccis Pizzeria, for donating an incredible $1,200 from last Saturday's Pizza with a Purpose Give Back Day!

We are so grateful to Lindsey and her amazing team for not only serving up some of the best pizza in town, but for consistently showing up for our mission and the young people we serve.

Thank you as well to everyone who ordered pizza and helped make this donation possible. Every dollar raised will go directly toward purchasing laptops for our Mirth Project at Graduation students as they head off to college and trade school.

It truly takes a community to create opportunity, and we couldn't do what we do without all of you.
Thank you for believing in these students and investing in their futures.

This spring, we offered a three-session Resiliency Yoga Class at Scholar House thanks to the generosity of the Harding-Buller Foundation of Worthington.
And honestly?
They loved it.
What started as “let’s try this” quickly became something the students looked forward to each session.. A chance to breathe. Stretch. Reset. Feel grounded. Feel cared for.
So we thought we’d ask…
Are there any yoga instructors in our community who would be interested in donating a class this summer for the residents at Scholar House Three at Scholar House Three?
Classes would be small, meaningful, and deeply appreciated. We’d love to continue creating spaces where these young adults can focus not just on surviving… but actually feeling well.
If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), please send us a message. 🖤
Sometimes support looks like emergency groceries.
Sometimes it looks like helping someone finally exhale.
