• Detailed Information

  • Youth Together currently operates at five high schools:

    • Castlemont High School, Oakland
    • Emery High School
    • McClymonds High School, Oakland
    • Rudsdale Continuation High School
    • Skyline High School, Oakland

    In 1996 Youth Together was formed by youth, community members, parents and school officials in Oakland, Berkeley, and Richmond, California concerned about inter-racial violence and inadequate school conditions.

    Because of the organization’s youth leadership programming, student centers, and campaigns, five local high schools are developing positive, long-term solutions to fight social, political, community, and educational inequities in their lives, serving as a model for empowering change in other communities.

    Community members were inspired to form Youth Together in 1994 in response to inter-racial conflicts in schools. Since that time, young people in Youth Together have fought for, won, and continued to struggle for a new vision of their schools and communities.

    Youth Together utilizes four main programs to meet our mission:

    1. Youth Together Student Teams: Youth Together operates student organizing clubs on five school campuses to develop student leadership skills, multiracial solidarity, and to improve school conditions.

    2. School-Based One Land, One People Youth Centers/Collaboratives: Youth Together operates multi-service collaboratives and youth centers on high school campuses.

    3. Community-Based Youth Centers/Collaboratives: Youth Together advocates and organizes for community based multi-service collaboratives and centers and partners with local officials to design, plan, and develop these centers.

    4. Regional Programming: Youth Together provides regional programming to core youth leaders and is the lead member of the Organize Da Bay network, a regional network of youth-serving organizations working to improve a variety of issues which impact the areas’ young people.
