👥YTS Board of Directors

💡Why We Lead

We lead because every young person deserves the tools, support, and opportunities to thrive — no matter their background or the challenges they face. At YTS, leadership isn’t about titles or positions. It’s about service, impact, and heart.

Our team is driven by lived experience and a deep understanding of the realities facing today’s youth — from academic setbacks to mental health struggles. We’ve witnessed what happens when systems fail… and we’ve also witnessed the transformation that’s possible when intentional support steps in. View our resources HERE.

Our Mission: To close gaps in education, equity, and access.
Our Vission: To create safe spaces where students feel seen, valued, and empowered.
Our Core Values: We lead because the future depends on it — and so do our children.

Bound by one mission:

To empower youth through innovative educational technology, mental wellness, and equity-driven programs. Together, we don’t just dream of change—we design it.
