YouthEntity is people. Together with the help of donors, in-vestors, volunteers and the community at large, YouthEntity builds, trains, transforms, leads, facilitates, serves, inspires and assists … We are partners, friends, mentors, leaders, counselors and more. YouthEntity is a place. An “entity” is something that has a real presence. The YouthEntity Center is a place where youth learn from adults and adults learn from youth in a unique learning environment. YouthEntity is a promise. Our mission is more than a hope or a goal. It’s more than an aspiration. It is a promise. “To help prepare youth for future success regardless of what they want to be …” This is a calling. It’s a reminder that each day is yet another opportunity to “do good”. To make a differ-ence in the lives of others every single day.

We are YouthEntity.
