Youth ALIVE! is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Oakland, California, dedicated to preventing violence and supporting healing in urban communities. Since 1991, it has worked with violently wounded individuals and their communities, employing mentors, youth leaders, counselors, case managers, intervention specialists, and violence interrupters. The organization meets clients wherever they are—at home, in schools, at hospital bedsides, and on the streets—to foster safety and resilience. Its primary focus is youths growing up in the city’s most violent neighborhoods, aiming to empower young leaders and reduce violence through direct engagement and support. Operating within the civic and social sector, it participates in broader efforts around community safety and youth development. In March 2026, the organization formed a partnership with IPG Health, LLC to support its violence-prevention work.
