RUT PROGRAMS
Our youth-led programs consist of hands-on interactive experiences filled with learning and fun for young people between the ages of 13-21. This innovative program is designed to introduce and engage the participants in the ever-evolving society around them. Interactive activities will consist of participants uncovering their unique selves through twelve cultivating sessions each year. The objective is to help facilitate social-emotional development and civic understanding to ensure a brighter and more productive future for Jacksonville’s youth.

Under-served urban areas possess the potential to excel and succeed if provided with proper guidance and support in a culturally affirming environment
When young people are authentically engaged, they have the opportunity not just to express themselves, but also to participate in deciding issues that affect them directly. Communities, institutions, and social systems become more inclusive, responsive, and accountable to the needs and interests of young people as a direct result.
