Youth Program

YNMA has designed its after school martial arts and tutoring program on the bases that “it takes a village to raise a child” and “it takes a child to inspire a village.” Our program is a mechanism to facilitate our community in supporting its youth and, in turn, a reason and vehicle for our youth to respect their community.

What Inspires us?

 

In a word, our youth! Young people are faced with crises on a daily basis that we never imagined con-fronting in our lives – so much so that one of our primary service areas (the Baldwin Hills community) has been nick-named “the Jungles”. Poverty, poor health, drugs, gangs, violence, greet them every day in a hundred ways.

Our Value to the Community

We have designed our martial arts and tutoring programs on the basis that “it takes a village to raise a child” and “it takes a child to inspire a village”. Our vision is to build a community that supports its youth and, in turn, a reason and vehicle for our youth to respect their community.
