Youth Succeeding through Training Restorative Initiatives Volunteering and Education
GRIP Retreat 2000
Our HistoryStarted on July 4th of 2006 in response to the end of the state-funded Gang Risk Intervention Program (G.R.I.P.). ySTRIVE with its 300+ youth members is the ONLY independent, youth-run, volunteer based, member-driven, gang intervention, 501(c)(3) organization in Santa Barbara. Originated by three 17 year old La Cuesta High School students (shown below). This organic and unconventional project truly puts youth first.

Our MissionWe will strive to remain a youth-initiated, member-driven youth organization consisting of integrated short and long term, member-identified projects that focus on the fundamental causes of at-risk, high-risk and gang-risk behaviors in youth. We will provide growth opportunities through membership to produce relevant measurable successes in finance, education, and societal restoration for youth and their families to create safe, healthy and progressive communities.
