Youth success initiative (ysi) is a mentoring program designed to provide meaningful and impacting mentorship to two categories of youth - gang involved and at risk. Youth are screened and assessed and then matched with diverse mentors based on the youth's strengths and interests. The activities may involve many interactions including academic, social, recreational, and employment. In addition to the youth mentorship component, youth success initiative also provides walk and knocks to three target areas of san diego logan heights, city heights, and southeast san diego. Walk and knocks are led by ysi and involve collaboration with other community agencies and law enforcement that provide resources and information directly to the neighborhoods going house-to-house of these target areas. In addition, community forums are held in each region that provides a venue for community members to discuss important matters that impact their families and neighborhood and receive support from the youth success initiative team and their partners. During the fiscal year ended on june 30th, 2025, we mentored 100 youth, 100 unduplicated youth, provided 16 community forums, and conducted 24 walk and knocks.the neighborhood enterprise center (nec) and timmy's place pizzeria and print are social enterprise programsrevenue generating businesses with a social mission.
