YouthPlaces

Run for Youth. Run for Community. Run for YouthPlaces.

At YouthPlaces, we believe every young person deserves a safe place to learn, grow, and thrive—especially outside of the school day. YouthPlaces partners with schools and community organizations to provide high-quality out-of-school time programs that support academic success, social-emotional learning, wellness, leadership, and future development.

Through hands-on enrichment, mentorship, and community-connected experiences, we help youth build confidence, resilience, and the skills they need to succeed in school and in life. Our programs don’t just fill time after the bell rings; they create opportunity, belonging, and pathways for young people to discover who they are and who they can become.

By running for YouthPlaces or making a donation, you’re directly investing in:

• Safe, supportive spaces for youth during critical afterschool hours

• Programs that strengthen mental health, wellness, and life skills

• Opportunities for youth to lead, serve their communities, and dream bigger

Every mile run and every dollar raised helps us expand access to meaningful programming for youth and families across our communities.

Join us. Run with purpose. Donate with impact. Together, we can create brighter futures—one step, one stride, one young person at a time.
