Our mission.

Swift Youth Foundation empowers children, teens and young adults to reach their highest potential through fun enriching programs and positive mentoring relationships. 

Our vision.​

Picture
Swift’s vision is twofold.  We provide life changing experiences to elementary school-aged children who are economically disadvantaged. At the same time, we empower teens and young adult volunteers to provide positive mentorship to the communities we serve, developing leadership skills in the process. We develop and provide year-round programming in the form of summer camp, weekend activities and after-school programs. By collaborating with community partners and volunteers, we make our STEAM and values based programming fun and engaging. 

Core Values.

  • Youth and teens ought to be empowered to make a positive difference in their own lives as well as in their communities.
