YouthPlaces

Who We Are:

YouthPlaces develops the skills of the youth we serve, and in doing so, we increase their opportunity for success. We focus our efforts on underserved youth in high-risk communities where few other agencies operate. Through field trips, hands-on learning and experiential activities, we empower teens to work through problems in an environment better suited to their unique learning style. They offer a variety of sports programs and recreation opportunities that keep teens moving, providing them with a fun way to stay active while teaching them the valuable social and emotional lessons only sports can provide. Through a series of hands-on workshops, one-on-one mentoring sessions and college visits, they empower teens to explore all of the opportunities that are in front of them. From meeting with college reps to filling out financial aid and scholarship forms, YP Futures is designed to kickstart a successful college career.
