We’re so grateful you’re here! Though it often feels like our work is fueled by magic, the truth is that we need folks like you.
By supporting YIA, your money is being invested in ensuring our young people can focus on their own development, build leadership skills, and grow into their power.
During the ’24-’25 program year, YIA employed 7 youth as part-time Co-Coordinators to lead their peers in programming and make critical decisions for our agency. Additionally, 48 youth received an average of $1,000 in stipends for their work as consultants and leaders within YIA and in their communities. Over the past year, we delivered 457 hours of after school and summer programming. Check out our 2025 Annual Report for more.
We couldn’t do this work without your support – thank you!
