Youth Achieve is a not for profit 501 (c) 3 organization. The goal of Youth Achieve is to serve, mentor and tutor homeless and at risk youth so as to prepare them for entry into the workforce or postsecondary education.
Mission
The mission of Youth Achieve is to provide homeless shelters, children’s centers and schools with young, highly qualified volunteers to tutor and academically mentor the often neglected homeless and at risk youth in the Washington Metropolitan Area.
Vision Statement
“Education offers the best road out of a seemingly hopeless situation for homeless children. Yet it is also the first sacrifice these children make, as their continual mobility forces them to endure numerous school transfers and to catch up after extended periods of absence. Special after-school programs tailored to meet the multiple needs of homeless children can have a tremendous positive effect by providing examples of stability, encouraging self-worth, and teaching badly needed skills."
