ARI Community Service 10%

Access Lounge/Youth Development Center: The center serves a culturally diverse resource space for youth to access computers, printers, fax, machines, educational materials, job postings, and career development materials. 

Youth RISE is a group of young diverse leaders (14-24 years of age) whose mission is to create positive social change by creating an empowering community and advancing the voice of young people. 

ARI's hallmark program for 31 years has been its Summer Youth Program.  The program provides at-risk youth with important career and leadership skills.

The program provides youth with important career, life, and leadership skills training through an intensive two-week academy followed by a paid work experience opportunity. 

At the last Summer Youth Program orientation, we had  500 interested youth attend.  As one of the few organizations with a summer job program for youth in the state of California, we want to be able to accommodate all interested youth in gaining work experience and job skills. $2,500 per youth ensures that each program participant has an internship experience. 

Youth Link Sacramento, your hub for youth opportunities and support. Youth Link curates the best of Sacramento’s youth resources, programs, activities, services, and online support for young people, their families, and adult allies. Here you’ll find resources for families with newborns all the way to older youth.

Youth Link has two main goals to best serve you and your family. As the community needs for Goal 1 decreases, Goal 2 will ramp up:

Goal #1: To promote virtual Sacramento youth programs and activities, as well as important COVID-19 resources for youth and adult allies that support them.

Goal #2: To lift up Sacramento youth-serving organizations, making their services easier to locate for youth and their communities to come together stronger.
