Support YA’s Youth Impact Centers
A Hub for Community Transformation
The Youth Impact Centers in Hollister and Gilroy provide a physical home for culture, pathways of opportunity, and power building so we can truly transform our community and build the future our youth deserve.
Imagine a space built by and for young people and their families.
A place that is warm and welcoming, filled with beautiful art and cultural work that reflects our community. Imagine a one-stop-shop where youth and families can access a range of programs and services that invest in their well-being and potential. What if every young person knew they had a place where they could find connection, culture, and community? This is our dream and with your help we can make it a reality for our community.
Sites in Gilroy and Hollister provide physical space for the community and youth to gather and connect. Our vision is for these Youth Impact Centers together with the 7 Generations Institute to provide training, workshops, and movement building that will act as Transformation Hubs in our community.
A priority site has been identified to meet the urgent need for space and youth services in Gilroy. This location provides central access to East Gilroy youth and families and will be a proto-hub in which we provide immediate and expanded services for youth, pilot shared ownership, and engage the community. We are raising $4 Million dollars to purchase, renovate, and operate the Gilroy Youth Impact Center with the goal and vision of a multi-use campus as an empowerment hub for the community.

Mutual Aid in Solidarity with Our Community
Youth Alliance has established an emergency Solidarity Fund to provide financial resources for some families in urgent need. This fund will help youth and families we serve in San Benito County and South Santa Clara County.
The urgent need for food, rental or housing assistance, and resources in Spanish have been consistent issues that families are facing.
Please consider making a gift in any amount. Together, we can support those most in need, helping them stay safe and healthy during this unprecedented crisis.
