R.O.P.E. World Fundraiser

R.O.P.E. is a local, proven mentoring program founded in 2010 for young women of color and young people identifying as female or non-binary. The mission of R.O.P.E. is to celebrate and honor the entry of adolescents into adulthood and provide them with the skills and knowledge that they need to be successful, independent, and responsible people. It is designed to help participants discover their inner voice and support all components of personal development and personal leadership. It is based in the Berkshires and supports participants through college and beyond.

Join us for a fundraising dinner on November 8, 2025, at Berkshire Innovation Center with the hopes of raising funds for R.O.P.E. World programs. This fundraiser will also support:

• R.O.P.E. Opportunities: Arrange opportunies to engage in the community through workshops, personal and professional development, connection to local professionals and opportunities to explore and experience ancestral roots and develop global citizenship.
• Youth Alive at Pittsfield’s 250 Celebration: Enhance our Youth Alive programming and provide participants with the opportunity to collaborate and learn from a historically black college or university that will partner with us for Pittsfield's 250th Anniversary Celebration.

Your ticket will allow you access to our ceremony, which will include dinner and entertainment throughout the evening, including performances and speeches from R.O.P.E. World members and alumni. Dinner will be provided by MadJacks Barbeque, as well as vegan options provided by an alternate food provider.
