Investing In Youth,
Our Greatest Resource.

Since 1983, the Youth Project is a youth development agency providing constructive opportunities for youth in areas of employment and training, community service, and youth leadership, to help youth avoid high risk behaviors which jeopardize their futures.

Mission

Empowering youth in our community to become productive and responsible adults by providing constructive opportunities to prevent high risk behaviors.

Guiding Principals

1) Youth as resources: Youth are seen as resources, not problems. Young people can help meet pressing human and environmental needs in our community.

2) Youth empowerment: Youth have important contributions and ideas and the capability to implement these ideas with adult support.

3) Self-esteem and life skills: Youth need to develop life skills and self-confidence and be provided the opportunity to use those skills in real life situations.

4) Diversity: All youth served, not just disadvantaged youth. The needs of high risk youth are best met through a formal support system that addresses the needs of all youth.
