Our Mission:
yStrive for Youth, Inc. strives to be 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.
yStrive members provide opportunities for relevant measurable success in the areas of finance, education, and societal restoration for themselves and their families to create safe, healthy and progressive communities.
I said to my children, "I'm going to work and do everything that I can do to see that you get a good education. I don't ever want you to forget that there are millions of God's children who will not and cannot get a good education, and I don't want you feeling that you are better than they are. For you will never be what you ought to be until they are what they ought to be."
-- Martin Luther King Jr.
