United Youth of America (UYOA) is a non-profit organization that was established in 1997. UYOA’s mission is to serve the needs of underprivileged youth ages sixteen and up.  This goal is accomplished by teaching the principles of success and self-worth through UYOA’s innovative programs.  Our organization serves low income families and children; we believe that the entire family must be served to help children.  UYOA addresses the need for increased economic opportunities that are accessible and affordable for 18 and up living in underserved communities of metro Atlanta.  UYOA goal is to prevent violence and delinquency and to reduce the impact of dislocated workers ages 16 to 55.
