For more than 30 years, the Youth Policy Institute (YPI) has been breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty by providing access to education, workforce training, and essential services for youth and families. Originally part of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial, YPI was founded in Washington, D.C., in 1983. In 1996, YPI relocated to Los Angeles to focus on direct education and comprehensive services including early childhood education, tutoring, operating K-12 schools, college preparation, computer labs, case management, financial literacy, and job training.Now over 1,600 YPI employees serve some of the city’s lowest-income neighborhoods, reaching more than 115,000 youth and adults annually at 136 program sites in Los Angeles. YPI is the only nonprofit in the country to receive all three signature White House Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative grants: Promise Neighborhoods, Choice Neighborhoods, and Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation; and is lead implementation partner for the Los Angeles Promise Zone.We are humbled by these endorsements of YPI’s work and consider them a call to do even better. In the years ahead, we will continue to build and strengthen collaborations, invest in our staff, and sharpen our ability to measure the impact of our work.
