vision for tomorrowRevealing hope for the future to foster and at-risk homeless youth in San Diego.
Based in San Diego, Xtreme Youth invests in foster and at risk children, both financially and educationally. We’re passionate about helping kids think ahead to their futures, see the value of education, and understand how learning can help them overcome barriers throughout their lives.
our approachHow we support foster and at-risk youth.
Mentors + tutors
Our trained mentors and tutors support growth and development from all angles by creating a stable, welcoming and supportive learning environment for every child. They tailor their sessions to meet each child’s individual needs and guide them as they become competent students and capable young adults.
Practical support
While we focus primarily on tutoring, we also provide the peripheral support necessary to facilitate learning. When needed, we cover expenses for school supplies, testing fees, vision correction, and in some cases, sports and private lessons.
Post-grad support
When students make it all the way to college graduation, they often find themselves unable to navigate adult decisions such as applications, car loans, and living on their own. Our mentors assist and guide them in moving towards becoming productive and self-sufficient adults.
Who We AreWhat Makes Us Unique.
Xtreme Youth offers services beyond case closure, to the age of 25 if needed. We also pay our tutors and mentors for their time rather than requesting volunteers. This helps compensate for the difficult times everyone is currently in, extreme gas prices and the fact that our tutors need to travel all over San Diego during peak traffic hours to meet with their individual students. Xtreme Youth greatly values the people we hire and are thankful for them extending their time to the lives of kids who need a friend and consistent guidance.
The GoalChange their world so they become world changers.
Children will remember their experiences with Xtreme Youth forever, drawing from their educations for the rest of their lives. With a strong foundation of self-confidence, they’ll believe in their ability to champion change in their own homes, communities and beyond. Investing in kids is investing in the future, and we hope you’ll join us in our mission.
