Mission

Our Mission is to enrich the lives of youth from under-resourced communities where we focus on the social-emotional growth of children and shelter dogs. 

Vision

Our Vision is for K9YA to be widely recognized as a model for transformative work in animal welfare and youth development where underserved youth develop the skills and tools to become self-confident and empathetic adults by training dogs that are successfully adopted.
