Bloom with Youth In Action 2013

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported us at Bloom! Because of you, we are able to work with all the youth engaged with YIA to reach their personal and educational goals to create positive change in the community!

Youth In Action Turned 15!

More than 100 YIA family members joined us for a fun night of food, cocktails, media, and Youth In Action stories. We launched our 15th Anniversary video and enjoyed a fun evening of socializing with old friends and meeting new ones!

Support Our Work

“YIA teaches me the power we hold when we work together. I am now speaking at rallies and press conferences, and showing my peers that we hold power over our futures.”
– Olu, YIA Board Member

“When I first started YIA, I didn't really believe I could do much about the struggles I saw in my community. After a while, I realized that people really need my help to solve the problems the community is facing.”
– Robert, YIA Alumnus

“I wanted to see everyday people who lived in our neighborhood come together to recognize all the problems that our community faces and secondly feel responsible and empowered to do what is necessary to change these problems. It was and still is a very ambitious goal…but deep inside of me that is still what I want to see and is what has driven everything I have done since.”
– Misty, YIA Founder
