Youths for Youths : Our Story

Igniting a Dream: Where It All Began

Our journey at Youths for Youths Foundation started with a simple yet life-changing decision: joining a volleyball team. What awaited me wasn't just a sport; it was a welcoming community filled with support, camaraderie, and open arms. The catch? Volleyball wasn't something I had ever been into before. Little did I know that this seemingly ordinary choice would turn my life around in the most extraordinary way.

Around that time, my family was grappling with some major challenges, particularly my father's life-altering accident. These were tough times that pushed us to our limits. But amidst it all, volleyball emerged as more than just a game. It became my therapy, a wellspring of strength, and an unending source of inspiration. It was in those moments that I witnessed the incredible transformation sports could bring about, setting the stage for our remarkable journey.

The Heart of Our Vision: Family and Friends

Our story is inseparable from the unwavering support of our family and friends who embarked on this journey right by our side. Their relentless encouragement, unshakable belief in our mission, and shared dedication became the driving forces pushing us forward.

With our collective determination, we turned a dream into a reality. Together, we envisioned an organization dedicated to addressing the growing problem of social isolation among young people in today's tech-savvy world. We were determined to help them develop essential social skills, overcome shyness, and conquer social anxiety. We recognized that the art of genuine communication and connection was at risk in the digital age, and we wanted to change that.

Our organization is majority led by a group of dedicated high school and college students who all share a common dream: to empower their fellow youth, get them moving, and break free from screen addiction. As a nonprofit, we're on a mission to enrich the educational experience in schools by providing essential sports equipment.

Embracing Change as the "Indoor Generation": The Pandemic's Impact

In recent years, our world has thrown unprecedented challenges at us, especially our youth. The pandemic forced us indoors, turning many of us into the "indoor generation." We spent countless hours glued to screens, and soon enough, we found ourselves addicted to constant connection and technology. Don't get us wrong, technology is amazing, but it became clear that we needed to address the issue of screen addiction and its profound impact on the youth
