Youth Alliance Featured Nonprofit for 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Youth Alliance is honored to announce its selection as the featured nonprofit for the prestigious 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. This partnership, in collaboration with the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to uplift and empower young people in our community.

Youth Alliance extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, AT&T, and all involved in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for recognizing and supporting our mission of providing safe spaces to connect, heal, engage and lead, so that young people can become powerful advocates for change and community transformation. This is not just a celebration of our efforts but a pivotal moment in amplifying the impact of our work alongside our community.

At Youth Alliance, our commitment to ensuring access for underserved youth and communities remains a top priority. Through our collaboration with AT&T and the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, we are breaking down barriers and opening new doors of opportunity for young people and their families. Together, our ability to provide essential services and leadership opportunities makes the dreams of our young people not just aspirations but achievable realities.

Being highlighted as a featured organization validates the work Youth Alliance has been doing for over 25 years and elevates our vision of a community that supports all young people. Diane Ortiz, CEO of Youth Alliance, shares that “together we are uplifting the importance of digital inclusion in rural communities to ensure equitable access to technology and the internet as essential tools for education, career, and health access.”

Our vision aligns with AT&T's and the Monterey Peninsula Foundation's dedicated initiative to bridge the digital divide. This initiative is crucial in today's world, where technology is not just a tool but a fundamental aspect of education, communication, and personal growth.

We are incredibly thankful for the support and trust bestowed upon us by AT&T and the Monterey Peninsula Foundation. Their commitment to championing the cause of our young people continues to inspire us and pushes us forward in our vision of Youth Hubs for our young people with access to technology, counseling, mentorship, and recreational opportunities to name a few.

In order to meet the urgent need for space for young people and families to gather and receive immediate and expanded services, YA has launched a campaign to build out two Youth Impact Centers in our region. YA is piloting shared ownership and collaborative programming in a safe and accessible location that local young people can call their own. With supporters like the Monterey Peninsula Foundation, Youth Alliance is on its way towards raising $10 million to purchase, renovate, and operate the Youth Impact Centers with the goal and vision of a multi-use campus as an empowerment hub for the youth and community. This hub will be a transformational landing pad for trusted community leadership and education programs as well as a launching pad for collective impact and new programs for rural young people.

Imagine a one-stop shop where youth and families can access a range of programs, services and opportunities that invest in their well-being and potential. This youth community hub will be a transformational launching pad for education programs, youth development, workforce development, and so much more. Thanks to supporters like the Monterey Peninsula Foundation and AT&T, we are on our way to accomplishing this dream.
