Bay Area Youth Collaborative

APPLY HERE!


BAY (Bay Area Youth) Collaborative supports the academic achievement and social emotional development of middle and high school students engaged in the Teen Center at Alameda Point Collaborative. Our program and approach is grounded in the following theoretical orientations: trauma informed care and practice, an asset based community development perspective, and restorative justice practices. 

TEAM MEMBERS collaborate and form a mentorship with youth, while empowering them to have a say in what support they need during different moments of their lives. This support may look like college access guidance, academic mentoring, or various enrichment events and activities, such as local field trips, arts and crafts, team-building games, sports, and more!

PROGRAM INTERNS coordinate and lead a pod of team members. They provide leadership by facilitating meetings, coordinating training sessions, supporting recruitment efforts, and engaging directly with partners in the planning and execution of program goals. Most Program Interns have been previously involved in CILSA’s programs and are interested in growing in their leadership capacities.
