PRO Programs provide safe spaces for youth to discover who they are, explore topics that impact their daily lives, cultivate skills, and develop into leaders and change-agents for their communities. PRO’s desire to drive more responsive services and programs for youth and families in Sacramento along with its belief in community collaboration led to its Youth and Family Collective (YFC) initiative. The YFC brings together organizations across Greater Sacramento to help youth, families, and nonprofits to learn, earn, and thrive. The YFC builds on existing community assets and works to foster connections and alignment of programs and services, support capacity building for community organizations, and drive collaborative programs. To date, over 70 organizations have engaged in YFC programs and projects.
