Who We Are

YouthCentric is an organization to support high school students developed in consultation with students to create programming that promotes good mental health. Our programs create opportunities for building life skills, developing a sense of belonging/community, and bringing more life balance.

Our Mission

We strengthen resilience, emotional stability, and life balance in high school students to promote good mental health.

Our Programs

Matched For Good is an afterschool program that matches high school students with college leaders to design and lead their own community service projects. B3 Experience is a fun, innovative summer program designed to help rising 9th graders prepare for a successful transition into high school. Our Proposed “Five Pod Program” is a future community center that was designed by high school students. Each of our programs are led by college students and promotes good mental health in high school students by providing opportunities to learn life skills such as resilience, wellness, time management, self-care, and teamwork.
