The Youth Action Project is a non-profit organization that works to empower San Bernardino's youth to develop the skills and habits needed to experience economic and social success.

Our work is intended to bring positive change by helping local youth graduate from high school, complete college or vocational training, develop work skills, and make responsible choices.

If we enable our youth to become educated, gainfully employed, responsible community members, we believe we can reduce the prevalence of crime, drugs, teenage pregnancy and poverty in our community. In other words, we want to stop problems before they start.

Statistics show that teens who participate in positive youth development activities graduate from high school and go on to college at dramatically higher rates than teens who don't.

Ultimately, our work benefits not only the youth, but the community as a whole. With a better-prepared workforce, our community can be a more desirable place for companies to locate, and local businesses can be more successful.
