Benefits for Just Wait Teens
Besides building up a fund of money...
- They develop drug-free friends.
- They participate in positive activities.
- They have a summer job regardless that does not depend on their age or experience.
- They have a drug-free adult who shows interest in their life - a mentor, a "big brother" or "big sister".
- They provide community service by recycling plastic.
How We Fund the Program
We recycle plastic to make crab traps to rent and sell.
We operate the Sustainable Living Center Oregon, based in Kernville, Oregon, a few miles south of Lincoln City..
The Center provides crab trapping resources and opportunities and will be supporting the “Just Wait Teens” through the work of volunteers.
We accept donations and gifts from the community.
The Just Wait Foundation is a non-profit corporation, certified as an IRS 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, and monitored by the Charitable Services Division of the Oregon Department of Justice.
Its programs are funded by gifts and donations from people who like what we are doing, which are reported to the IRS and the Oregon Department of Justice each year..
