About Us
YUMA help kids learn to understand and communicate their feelings, to relate to their peers, develop relationships with other adults and stay in school. YUMA provides a safe haven where inner-city youth participate in a comprehensive program of academic tutoring, athletics, and vocational that promotes the physical, educational and life skills necessary to prepare and empower them for leadership in their communities and success in their personal lives. Now, instead of seeing crowds of kids fighting, hanging out in the street, skipping school, you will see them writing, filming, taping, publishing and studying while learning to engage with their peers and adults. There is a tremendous need for this program, especially for high-risk youth in low-income neighborhoods, for programs that provide activities and support for children during the after school hours and throughout the year.
