VIRTUAL & IN PERSON PROGRAMS
For Youth Initiative hosts a variety of programs for youth ages 12-29. We strive to create and bring programs to youth that are fun and engaging as well as meaningful and instructive. We offer programs that help youth build their leadership, communication, and life skills as well as support them in their education, employment and career development, mental health and justice system navigation. We offer both in-person and virtual programming for young people.
