LOUDOUN YOUTH, INC. - Welcome
Loudoun Youth Inc is a non-profit corporation established
to raise and distribute funding for Loudoun County youth-enrichment
programs. We provide management and oversight for the programs
we fund, working in a public/private partnership with individuals
and organizations throughout Loudoun County.
Loudoun County, through its youth initiatives, has been
recognized in a study conducted by George Mason University
for the quality and commitment of its youth-oriented programs.
At Loudoun Youth Inc.....
We believe that by “Listening to Youth” the
community can enable our youngest citizens to take the lead
on addressing issues that are important to them.
We believe that by supporting leadership organizations,
such as the Youth Advisory Council (YAC), young people will
be able to directly affect their community and enhance their
lives.
We believe that working side-by-side with teens we can make
Loudoun County the best place to grow up.
Please join us in our efforts, supporting teens and their
families.
"The largest number of adolescents in history is coming
of age world-wide. All told, some 1.2 billion people - one
person in five - are between ages 10 and 19, according to
the United Nations Population Fund. In the U.S. alone, there
are more than 29 million teenagers, with their numbers growing
at twice the rate of the overall population. For many of
them, adolescence will become the time they forge a sense
of self with experiments in independence and new experiences."
