Partners

Founded in 2008, YSO INT has formed long-term community partnerships to achieve maximum, sustainable, educational programming for students and families. This began through partnerships with afterschool programs which act both as collaborators and recipients of services.

Throughout its history, Youth Speak Out International has collaborated with Prime Time Palm Beach County, an afterschool intermediary organization, to offer high-quality Expanded Learning Opportunities to those children and families most in need.

Throughout its history, Youth Speak Out International has collaborated with Children’s Services Council Palm Beach County, an independent special district established by Palm Beach County voters in 1986. Today, Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County provides leadership, funding, services and research on behalf of Palm Beach County’s children so they grow up healthy, safe and strong.

YSO INT has collaborated with the Palm Beach County Youth Services Department (PBC YSD) for the past two years to bring our Today’s Technology & Communication program to afterschool sites throughout Palm Beach County.

YSO INT is a member of the Palm Beach County initiative, Birth to 22: United for Brighter Futures, an alliance of community partners that “engages and aligns existing coalitions, networks, systems and youth-serving organizations” and gives youth a voice in this process. YSO INT participates in the Birth to 22 workgroup, Strengthening Quality Out-of-School Time.

Through work with Prime Time, PBC YSD and Birth to 22, YSO INT strives to build programming that aligns with related efforts by other organizations throughout the county and reaches populations identified as high need or at-risk.

YSO INT joined Common Sense (or Common Sense Media), an organization dedicated to identifying and sharing solutions for digital well-being.

YSO INT joined Mizzen by Mott an organization that empowers educators to design and deliver engaging after-school programs that spark joy, curiosity, and a love of learning for all children and youth..
