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.
Each year we use about 50 volunteers who collectively provide 30,000 hours of service to the San Bernardino area.
Our major partners include Loma Linda University and LLU's Social Action Community Health System and the San Bernardino City Unified School District.
