Youth Speak Collective is a youth-driven initiative empowering low-income communities in the Northeast San Fernando Valley with the skills necessary to pursue higher education and create strong communities. Since its inception, Youth Speak Collective has provided youth with important opportunities to engage in the community???s civic activities and to give them a way to channel their intellect and ambition in a productive manner. At the core of each of our programs is the realization that education and opportunity are crucial to success. What makes YSC unique is its ???for youth, by youth??? philosophy. We believe the youth we serve are the best suited to design and implement our programs.
