Elevate Youth California

ARU's Elevate Youth California program is a youth-led leadership, mentorship, civic engagement, and arts-for-advocacy substance use prevention and healing program for Alameda County youth 14-21 years old inclusive to all genders and sexualities that centers the Asian, immigrant/refugee, and LGBTQIA+ experience.  Youth are mentored by other youth and adult allies on art, healing, leadership, community organizing, and civic engagement activities towards substance use prevention and change in the community.
