Together we can make a difference

Too many youths in our society are falling behind in school, falling victim to violence and falling short of a college degree. This crisis, which plays out across our nation, is particularly acute right here in Seattle University’s own neighborhood. It is time to lift up the children of our community.

The Seattle University Youth Initiative is a long-term commitment by Seattle University faculty, staff and students from all disciplines to join with parents, the Seattle School District, the City of Seattle, foundations, faith communities and more than 30 community organizations to help children of Seattle succeed in school and life.

 We invite you to learn about the Youth Initiative and encourage you to join us in this important work.
