Founded in 1995, we began as a grassroots effort of committed volunteers that has evolved into a place of love, cultural pride, and community healing.
To develop strong youth leaders, we must work to build safe and supportive schools, neighborhoods, and communities with innovative support networks that guide and challenge youth to expand their understanding of themselves, others, and the belief for their future.
Youth Alliance’s vision is to cultivate the wisdom and advance the power of our community to build a more equitable future.
We seek to accomplish this through comprehensive, innovative and culturally relevant services that equip youth and families to become change agents in their own lives and in their communities.
