Flossmoor youth-based nonprofit, You Matter 2, creates opportunities for giving and leadership among community youth and teens.
FLOSSMOOR, Ill. --"And it was at that moment that I was like, woah, this isn't just community service. I can really turn this into something."
It all started when Destiny wanted to attend WE Day Illinois. This annual event was for youth serving their community, but at the time her high school didn't have a club that would help her to get there, said Tamika Britten, Destiny's mother and You Matter 2's Associate Director.After starting You Matter 2 and putting in hundreds of service hours, Destiny was invited to a youth community dinner, where she received a full scholarship to any college of her choosing from Magic Johnson.
You Matter 2 holds annual events such as a back to school drive and packing lunches and making blankets for cancer patients and those facing homelessness.
