Giving and Receiving for Connected Community.
Our Mission
YTB supports youth by providing training and resources for youth-led community projects. YTB develops strengths and social connections for people of all ages.
Our Vision
Youth are engaged with community and their needs are addressed. YTB is youth-adult partnership. Youth develop strengths, increase social capital,
co-develop/co-deliver projects and serve as cross-age YTB coaches.

Our Core Values
If Youth ARE, a youth-adult partnership...
provides service opportunities where people earn time credits for their contributions
Then more people will...
have experiences with service to others, gain a sense of competence and develop strengths and make connections
So that more people become community partners who...
co-produce sustainable, positive changes in themselves and their communities and experience peer-to-peer, cross-age, youth-adult, and intergenerational solidarity.
