about us
Where Urban Youth Rise and Lead
At Youth With A Future, we believe young people can lead real change — they just need someone to believe in them first.
We work with urban youth facing real struggles: school dropout, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and more. These challenges often start with a breakdown in values — and that’s where we come in. Through honest mentorship, hands-on experiences, and youth leadership training, we help young people build character, discover their potential, and become leaders who give back to their communities.
our book
Your Guide to Leadership
This isn’t like other books filled with long lectures or rules from adults who’ve already been there and done that. This is a space created with you in mind—your thoughts, your dreams, your challenges, and your journey. Every chapter in this book was written with care, rooted in the real concerns and potential of young people today. Whether you’re in middle school, high school, or figuring out the next step, this book is here to walk with you.
At Youth With A Future, we believe in something powerful: You are not just the leaders of tomorrow. You are leaders right now.
