To cultivate a new generation of leaders and engaged citizens, empowered with a sense of purpose and responsibility, and committed to working together to create positive change in our society and the world.
For over 20 years, our organization has worked to create opportunities for diverse youths to achieve success and create positive change in their communities. At the Young Center, we believe that young people are our future leaders. And so, we empower our youth with the critical knowledge, skills and guidance they will need to succeed.
We believe that education is a powerful tool that can transform lives and help level the playing field in society.
We believe that moral character development is foundational and should be part of every child's educational experience.
We believe that service is a moral obligation for every person, in order to make the world more equitable and inclusive.
We believe that no child, regardless of difference, should be denied the opportunity to realize his or her full potential for success in life.
