“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
