Youth United for Community Action (YUCA) is a 501 C 3 non-profit organization based in East Palo Alto, CA. They are dedicated to developing leaders and organizing the community, with a focus on empowering marginalized youth who have been locked out of the legal means of material survival.
YUCA aims to address the alienation experienced by these youth, who are often looked down upon by predatory politicians and police, and left with limited educational opportunities. They see the potential in these young individuals, viewing them as the children and grandchildren of historical movements such as the Black Panthers, with the power to transform our realities and challenge the racist system that undermines their inherent worth.
