Many Latino youth and other youth of color face multiple and persistent challenges to socio-economic success, and physical and emotional well-being.
We believe that youth are vessels of strength and resiliency, and the relationships we build and foster with our youth is the single, most important asset and factor in preparing them to reach their highest potential and become active contributors to their families and communities.
We achieve this by offering a wide array of culturally competent and innovative substance abuse prevention and treatment, mental health, gender-specific and employment services and programs that promote healthy development and empower youth and families to take action in our community. Our Staff Family mirrors the backgrounds and life experiences of those we serve, and through the provision of a variety of high appeal programs, helps to transform their lives.
For five decades we have worked with more than 250,000 youth and families who have gone on to lead healthy lives, become professionals in a multitude of industries, and continued to give back to the community.
