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 have raised over 50% of our $5 million goal 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.
