UAY's Crisis, Advocacy, & Mediation Program is facing some devastating changes, starting October 1st.

We are currently working hard to create solutions to fill this gap and to continue being here to help youth navigate crises and create pathways toward safety and stability.

Please join us in supporting local youth and their families during this time. Spread the word by sharing this post and/or make a contribution at unitedactonforyouth.org/donate 💙

Take a flip through our Back-to-School Notebook! ✨📚

See what UAY has to offer this school season to help young people navigate student life with confidence and support.

We know transitions aren’t always easy. A new school year can bring new routines, new challenges, and new opportunities. No young person should have to navigate it alone. 💙

We’re here to help youth through those transitions, provide support, and remind them that they have people in their corner.

Flip through, learn more about what we offer, and join us in helping young people have a successful school year! 🎒📝
