Build a Stronger San Diego with

youth will

Youth Will is building youth power across San Diego by putting young people at the center of decisions that impact their lives.

Invest in Youth Power

Your donation fuels youth-led action across San Diego. From mental health to economic justice, you help young people identify the issues that matter to them, and lead real, lasting change in their communities.

Support & Grow Youth Leaders

Your gift directly funds stipends, transportation, meals, and the resources young people need to participate in advocacy and community-building. Every dollar removes a barrier and opens a door for youth leadership.

"Youth Will quickly became a new found home, one that offers me unconditional support in a variety of areas. I’ve found friends, leaders to look up to, and incredible mentors that are passionately dedicated to be here for our SD communities. Youth Will is where I’m able to explore my capabilities, grow day to day without a fear of judgment."
