Youth Together :: Peace, Unity & Justice
In 1996 Youth Together was formed by youth, community members, parents and school officials in Oakland, Berkeley, and Richmond, California concerned about inter-racial violence and inadequate school conditions.
Because of the organization’s youth leadership programming, student centers, and campaigns, six local high schools are developing positive, long-term solutions to fight social, political, community, and educational inequities in their lives, serving as a model for empowering change in other communities.
Welcome to a place that not only brings students together, but connects the community together as well.
As a non-profit, Youth Together relies on the support of corporate and individual contributors. Your contribution truly makes a difference by guaranteeing continued support and supplies directly to the students and program organizers who lead Youth Together’s gains in educational and racial justice.
