We Are Young Activists
We are based in Orange County, CA, and focused on serving people of color who have faced trauma in their past.

Story
During the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we all felt helpless and we wanted to make sure others didn't feel the same way. Our country's response to the pandemic was abysmal and completely ineffective, and rather than just getting upset with officials for it, we decided we wanted to help out. So, we started The Wellness Project, a community organization about using healing justice and the arts to empower the community and create a more powerful change.

Vision for the World
Young people aren’t often asked to help respond to ongoing issues. We're often underestimated, and our opinions are constantly overlooked. We want to change that. We want to show that young people can have just as much of an impact in helping out the community. With our small wellness clinics, we believe that it’s a step towards helping younger generations create change.
