About us
Youth Guidance creates and implements school-based programs that enable at-risk children to overcome obstacles, focus on their education and, ultimately, to succeed in school and in life. We believe that success is realized as students stay on track to graduate elementary and high school, develop the skills and abilities needed to make positive choices in their lives, and develop resilience assets such as self-efficacy, anger management, and positive values so that they may live successful, self-sufficient lives as adults. Our specific and strategically developed delivery areas are: Counseling & Prevention (BAM, WOW, STRIVE) Community & After-School (Parent/Family Engagement, Full-Service Community Schools Community Learning Centers and Extended Day & Enrichment Programs), and Career Readiness & Success. Youth Guidance directly serves more than 14,000 youth while touching the lives of many parents, teachers and community members. More than 95% of youth served are African American and Hispanic/Latino. Youth Guidance is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA). To learn more, please visit our website at www.youth-guidance.org.

I am proud to be on the advisory board of BAM Seattle - an amazing, school-based group counseling and mentoring program that centers relationships, focuses on rites of passage, and has impressive outcomes. We are building capacity in the Seattle area and need a development director. Work with an incredible team at Youth Guidance to expand BAM in our region!

Youth Guidance Kansas City was honored to attend the Kansas City Chiefs Kickoff Luncheon, an annual celebration of the upcoming NFL season and the team's fourth Super Bowl victory. This prestigious event brought together over 1,200 business leaders, players, coaches, and fans, offering an inside look at the team's preparations while raising funds for the Kansas City Chiefs Charitable Foundation. Our BAM and WOW students were the only youth present, sharing the special opportunity to sit with Jawaan Taylor (#74), offensive lineman for the Chiefs. We were also joined by Domonique Bell (Congressman Cleaver's Office & YG Advisory Council member) and Davin Gordon (Hall Family Foundation). #KansasCityChiefs #YouthGuidance
