About this organization
Mission
In pursuit of a just, equitable and inclusive society, Identity creates opportunities for Latino and other historically underserved youth to realize their highest potential and thrive. We envision a just and equitable society that nurtures all youth and is enriched by their contributions. We are guided by the following values: Young people come first. Every child has great potential. Youth deserve more than one chance. Society is enhanced by cultural diversity. To serve others is a privilege and requires excellence.
About
After school. In the community. On the playing fields. We help youth, and the families who love them, improve social-emotional skills, achieve academic success and prepare for work. Identity assists thousands of students and disconnected youth with programming before and/or after-school in 11 elementary, middle and high schools and through three high school-based wellness centers, two youth opportunity centers and at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. Identity youth report significant improvements in their ability to resolve conflict, speak up for themselves, connect to school and avoid substance abuse and delinquent behavior. Identity youth show improved attendance and academic success and their families report improved communication and more involvement in their child's education after participating in our programs.
