Our History
Committed to Making a Difference
Since 2005, Michelle Williams-Clark has set out to make a difference in the lives of youth all throughout the Eastside by providing them with all the tools, resources and support they need in order to shape them into the leaders of tomorrow. Offering youth of the community a chance to reach their fullest potential.
Our Mission
Eastside Youth Coalition is committed to providing Black, Latinx, historically marginalized youth, racially and culturally relevant programs in a safe community where their lives are valued.
Values We Hold
∙ Beginning where each student is; helping them explore their interests and how they would like to impact
the world around them.
∙ An unwavering dedication to serving Black, Latinx, students from historically marginalized communities.
∙ Cost will never be a barrier to any student’s participation. This program is free of charge for every student. This is made possible by foundation funding and funds raised through donor engagement.
∙ Eastside Youth Coalition will always be a safe space where every student is welcome, every student belongs, every student has value, and every student’s voice is heard.
∙ Caring for our community and the world is an integral part of the program. Each school year students will engage in a year-long service project to support youth and families.
