Youth Spaces

Mission

Provide enriching opportunities to Latino youth in Lafayette, creating hope, community, and a safe space for them to thrive mentally, physically, and emotionally. In addition, we actively build relationships and trust with parents to help them navigate and utilize local resources for their families.

Vision

Our vision is to provide experiences that help youth access opportunities to ensure success and help them to feel part of the community. It’s vital that teens feel a sense of belonging. We provide after-school activities for 6th through 10th graders at no cost from January to May. The program includes partnering with already existing community programs for art, music, physical and emotional health.

Case Study

It is important for Espacios Para Jovenes to document our findings. Last year's case study truly showed us just how important inclusion and support is for Lafayette Youth. Checkout our short case study video below showcasing the impact we have had!
