Urban Youth Collaborative
San Diego, California
Our Mission
“Connecting churches with schools makes transformation possible in the lives of students and the church community. Working together to achieve shared goals and promote the well-being of young people, UYC’s vision is to link all 280 public middle and high schools in San Diego County with a local church partner by 2020.â€
Who We Are
Nate Landis founded this organization about six years ago because he saw a need. UYC wants to change the lives of kids by telling them about the love of Jesus Christ and how He changes people's lives forever.
90% of San Diego's middle and high school students have no regular or meaningful connection to church. Approximately 33% of San Diego County students do not graduate on time. Drop out rates are much higher in some urban communities. Poverty, gangs, drugs, and broken homes threaten the dreams of many students.
