Mission Statement

Higher Ground Youth Center’s mission is to reach, transform, and elevate students’ academic success and positive identity to build leaders in their community.

We want to see a life-changing youth center that will reach the youth of Tucson and transform them by inspiring leadership, good choices, develop them through their talents and build a positive identity partnered with parents, schools, and community resources to fully maximize every child and youth’s potential in their future.

Description

We have 150 at-risk students coming to our after school Youth Center everyday from K - 8th grade.

Our students are from single/divorced families, low academic achievement homes, low income families, incarcerated parents, high crime community and lacks any youth center within a 5 mile radius. In addition, the schools we serve are on the lower 50% performing schools in Arizona.

We provide academic programming and recreational activities to build our youth and enable them to achieve access in their personal and academic areas.

I have tried to reach out to them three times, twice by e-mail and left a voicemail. It's been about three weeks and I still haven't heard from them. It's unfortunate, I was really hoping to get involved with this organization!
