Youth Together
(Fremont High)
Prishni Murillo, One Land, One People Site Director
Youth Together was
created as a community-based response to inter-racial conflicts and
violence in our school communities. Shortly after the passage
of Proposition 187 and during the Proposition 209 campaign efforts,
school officials, mental health workers, and parents were reporting increased
incidents of inter-racial conflicts and violence in school communities,
including group attacks on youth based upon racial identity.
In response,
community leaders and activists convened parents and public and school
officials to assess the problems and determine proactive solutions.
The outcome of these meetings in 1995 was a commitment to work collaboratively
to address the underlying conditions that contribute to the racial
tension and poor developmental outcomes of students. This commitment
led to the
formation of Youth Together in 1996.
The community leaders and activists
who founded Youth Together believed that social, political, community,
and educational inequities were at
the root of these tense conditions at schools; and that youth must
take the leadership in creating long-term solutions.
AmeriCorps member position
title and description:
Youth Advocate and Advisor: The AmeriCorps member at Youth Together provides services to youth

resources, too few employment opportunities, the absence of positive
things to do, and lack of community and personal safety as the root
causes of the problems facing youth. Youth UpRising is dedicated to being a leader in the advancement of
youth leadership development as a means of affecting positive community
change by ensuring that youth and young adults are supported in actualizing
their potential as a result of:

experiences;
