Together for Youth/Unidos Para Nuestros Jovenes (TFY/UPNJ) is a community-wide effort to create a positive, diverse, and healthy environment for youth in order to increase youth skills, confidence and abilities, and reduce the factors that may place them at risk for harmful behaviors.

What We Are About

Together For Youth/Unidos Para Nuestros Jovenes envisions a community where youth are healthy, successful, valued, respected and are community leaders. Together for Youth uses a number of powerful strategies to achieve this goal. These strategies are called the Seven Essential Components, and are the foundation of our projects.
