A letter from our Executive Director
At Boomerang Youth, Inc., we believe in the power of resilience and the potential of every teen. Whether they face challenges during school suspension or need a supportive space after school, we create brave environments where young people can build connections, overcome obstacles, and chase their biggest dreams. For over 17 years, we've been dedicated to disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline and empowering youth to become change-makers in Orange County. With your help, we can continue this vital work.
Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve inspired more than 3,300 middle and high school students to bounce back from life's challenges and move toward positive change. Inspired by our student’s courage and tenacity, we are grounded in a commitment to intentional evolution that centers our organizational values at the heart of everything we do.
Our community is our most integral resource, and your gifts and contributions are the lifeblood of our work. We invite you to join us on this journey to positively impact the lives of our community’s teens to realize a better, brighter future for Orange County for us all.

“You must also understand that setbacks are inevitable and most of the time you are going to have multiple setbacks… you must understand how to bounce back from setbacks and move forward… [I have the confidence] to say I am ready to go back to school because I know that I just had a setback [and] I must keep moving forward, and stay positive and driven towards my goals…”
