Our Organization is primarily focused on our Youth United (YU) Initiative which includes:

-Summer Service Learning Projects are projects organized to employ community youth to work on areas identified as incomplete, deteriorated, or in need of renovation.
-YU Should Get Involved is an organizing project in partnership with low income residents and our community schools to address community & neighborhood justice issues specificly around education. Through this project our youth and parents will research, negotiate, and bring about changes on local issues.
