Why Safe Yakima Valley?

At Safe Yakima Valley, we focus on prevention. We arm youth and families with tools, education, and activities to empower them to make positive choices creating opportunities for success. Our key initiatives include youth mentoring, drug-free coalitions, and impactful community outreach events like "Shreds & Meds" and neighborhood cleanups. We also support school-based programs that promote healthy behaviors, such as positive social norms campaigns, positive ticketing, and student-led prevention clubs. Through these collaborative efforts, Safe Yakima Valley is committed to fostering a safer, healthier community for everyone across the Yakima Valley.

We support a drug-free community.

Empowering Youth Through Mentorship

Our mentorship program connects community members with youth to support their personal development, build confidence, and create lasting relationships. Research shows that mentored youth are 46% less likely to start using illegal drugs and 27% less likely to start drinking compared to their peers without mentors.
