Our commitment to support, empower, and motivate children in our service area propels us to provide quality service for a greater good. Our fundamental core values at Youth-N-Action are; personal development, academic success, career awareness, cultural diversity, problem solving, community development, and productivity. We believe that empowering and motivating anyone who comes through our doors will provide him/her with the necessary tools to succeed today and have an even better future.
At Youth-N-Action, we are committed to building our children through dedication and consistent hands-on-participation in their lives. We believe that by supporting them we will be playing our little quota to make a meaningful change in our world. We serve as a liaison to support parents in becoming more active in their children’s development inside and outside of the classroom.
Our mission is to nurture and empower youth in pursuit of academic excellence and healthy lifestyles. We aim to educate and empower these kids to overcome all barriers to their development. We work rigorously to meet their social, emotional, educational, athletic, and career goals. We do this through personal advisement, a series of programs, activities, events, and a constant support system provided by our esteemed Youth-N-Action’s staff and volunteers.
In addition, Youth-N-Action serves as a bridge between participants and their highest dreams. We aim to provide meaningful exposure to mentors, teachers, and coaches who have achieved success and are excited about giving back to the community and to ensure the future success of our children. We are an organization that take action with urgency and provide solutions to some of the pressing issues facing our community. Continuously looking for ways to enhance the services we offer is just another way for us to deliver on our promise to put quality first.
We have provided empowerment, teaching, motivation, counseling, and sports development to over 1000 kids across our community. We currently serve Montgomery, Alabama, and we hope to extend our coverage to other states.

To see all youth equipped with the tools and skills they need to realize their potential towards becoming productive and viable citizens
Youth-N-Action is an organization for youth that was started in 1995 in Montgomery, AL as a resource to keep kids in the Montgomery community active in a positive setting. This was done by steering kids to the YMCA’s in the Montgomery area where 5-12 year old boys and girls could stay active in sports, summer, and afterschool programs.
In 1996 Youth-N-Action got involved with AAU Basketball focusing on the development of young men on and off the playing court where over 15 kids between the years of 2006-2015 went on to receive college basketball scholarships. In 2016 Youth-N-Action officially got its 501c3 status. Since that time Youth-N-Action has added a golf program, track and field program, an afterschool program, and a summer program that caters to both males and females age 6-18.
As of today, Youth-N-Action is a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to building at-risk youth through dedication, consistent, hands-on participation in their lives. The mission of Youth-N-Action is to enhance at-risk youth educationally, socially, and athletically so they can pursue and achieve their academic, life, and athletic goals.
Our Executive Board is a group of committed, hard working, productive individuals who have banded together to create a strong, viable network geared toward supporting at-risk youth as they develop into productive citizens. We serve as a liaison to support parents in becoming more active in their children’s development inside and outside of the classroom.
