About
Founded in 1981, PRO Youth & Families is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to engaging youth in opportunities that inspire hope. The organization is guided by the core values of putting youth first, fostering a sense of belonging, promoting collaboration, and instilling hope. Through strategic partnerships with schools, community organizations, local governments, and the private sector, PRO empowers young people to become leaders and change-agents in their communities.
Mission and Vision: PRO's mission is to inspire, educate, and mobilize young people to build a healthier future for themselves, their families, and their communities. We envision a future where all young people recognize their value, have access to support and opportunities, and believe in their power to be change-agents in their community.
Our Three Areas of Work:
-Wellness: PRO is committed to connecting young people with safe spaces that promote well-being and belonging. Mental wellness and relationship skills programs educate and equip youth with tools to build a healthy future for themselves, their peers, and the communities around them.
-Youth Voice: At PRO, youth voice matters. Through youth advisory boards, civic engagement, and leadership programs, young people are provided a platform to share their voices and develop solutions for important issues that affect youth. These programs encourage collaboration among peers and key leaders, fostering a culture of positive change and self-determination.
-Collective Impact: PRO’s collective impact initiative, the Youth & Family Collective, unites diverse organizations to provide opportunities for youth, families, and nonprofits to learn, earn, and thrive.
PRO Programs provide safe spaces for youth to discover who they are, explore topics that impact their daily lives, cultivate skills, and develop into leaders and change-agents for their communities. PRO’s desire to drive more responsive services and programs for youth and families in Sacramento along with its belief in community collaboration led to its Youth and Family Collective (YFC) initiative. The YFC brings together organizations across Greater Sacramento to help youth, families, and nonprofits to learn, earn, and thrive. The YFC builds on existing community assets and works to foster connections and alignment of programs and services, support capacity building for community organizations, and drive collaborative programs. To date, over 70 organizations have engaged in YFC programs and projects.
