ONE WEEK UNTIL COMMUNITY CELEBRATION 2025: If you’re not yet familiar with the work of Youth On Their Own, known informally as ‘YOTO’, then you’re missing out on the incredible story of a nonprofit whose work is aimed at keeping Tucson teens who experience homelessness in school and on track for success, with a 93% graduation rate! It’s wonderful work they’re doing, and precisely why YOTO is being honored with the 2025 Vital Nonprofit BLOOM Award at our Community Celebration 2025 at CF Campus on April 24th.
