Who We Are: Youth In Action (YIA )is a non-profit organization based in the Southside of Providence that works to support young people of color in RI’s marginalized communities. We recognize that many of our youth come from communities that suffer from a disproportionate share of social, economic, and environmental burdens. Because of this, our youth walk through the door with an experiential social awareness--the recognition of discrimination, over-criminalization, and broad inequities in their schools and neighborhoods. Our programming provides a space where youth can come together to share their stories, learn leadership skills and take action. YIA exists to make safer spaces for youth to find themselves, grow, and make change in their own lives and communities. We do this by offering free after school programming (Core, Immersion, Collective, summer series), partnering with schools and other youth serving community partners, and organizing and engaging in coalitions and movements for change. And youth lead every step of the way, from the board to the team, that's why we believe that-- nothing about us, without us, is for us.
