While YAMA serves students from Southeast San Diego, a community that has been hard hit by home foreclosures, unemployment, reduced social services, and low societal morale. Southeast San Diego is a highly diverse community of primarily low-income, working-class families. The area also has a crime rate that is significantly higher than most other areas in San Diego. Many young people become involved in gangs, drugs and other destructive behaviors. YAMA's life changing programs and nurturing atmosphere offers these youth a powerful creative alternative and an opportunity to build a more positive future.
