PARTI PROGRAM:

The P.A.R.T.I. (Positive Alternative Recreation Teambuilding Impact) Program believes that our children are our community’s greatest assets. Every day we work to change the lives of youth who suffer from bullying, depression, violent lifestyles, unhealthy relationships and unstable families. We provide support activities for many low-income and underrepresented youth who otherwise never receive an opportunity to be heard or get placed in leadership roles in their school. PARTI Program believes leadership and service should be the common expectation and experience of all young people.

Established in 2000, the P.A.R.T.I. Program is a non-partisan, non-sectarian 501(c)(3), non-profit organization with the primary mission of enhancing youth critical thinking skills.

PARTI Program serves over 5,000 high-risk, impacted and intentional youth in Santa Clara County, Alameda County and Los Angeles County. Our main programs are: High Impact, cultural arts (Fusion), PARTI Health, Leadership Development and Mentorship Program.
