Access Youth keeps vulnerable youth in school and out of the justice system through mediation, restorative justice, and positive youth development.

We increase educational equity and break long-standing cycles of poverty and violence for 1000+ students every year. In an era of uncertain government funding, private and individual support is more crucial than ever to ensure our students are not left behind.
