ROCKLIFE YOUTH

access + opportunity

Our mission is simple: Ensure our youth, regardless of systematic barriers and underprivileged backgrounds, have the adequate access and opportunity needed to reach their fullest potential. We believe in building a foundation for youth and making sure they have a team they can count on. We achieve this through intentional initiatives such as afterschool programming, performing arts, sports, family events,and supporting justice-involved youth. We believe that building a strong connection with each youth will be a difference maker for each life.

WHAT WE DO.

  • Afterschool

    Our afterschool programming ensures youth have access to holistic growth development practices that focus on youth’s cognitive and social and emotional development. Our program also includes an 8-week summer program.

  • "JUST US"

    “Just us” is a mentorship program specifically provided for justice involved youth. We partner with W.A. Bass, Johnson ALC, and NAZA to support youth through some of their most pivotal moments in life.

  • ERA

    ERA stands for Expression, Related Arts, and Athletics. ERA is for youth who have passion for performing arts and sports. ERA promotes character building, embracing identity, leadership, and imagination.
