WHO WE ARE

Our
Mission & Vision

Our vision is a world where  Black youth are culturally aware, confident in their potential, and curious about the natural world around them.

The Black community is a creative, strong, dynamic, and resilient force. We know that when Black youth are given the appropriate tools and resources, they become the next generation of game changers, thinkers, and inventors. We strive to provide some of those tools and resources that are traditionally not available to the Black community either due to a lack of accessibility, institutional racism,  discrimination, and/or educational disparities.

Our mission is to provide a traditional summer camp experience where Black youth expand their comfort zones, develop dynamic friendships, and embrace the outdoors. 

About the Founders

Alex and Angelica Young are twin sisters who were born and bred in Northern California and currently reside in Oak Run, CA. For the past 10 years, they have both shared a vision of creating their own recreational summer camp specifically designed to serve Black youth.  They both graduated from Oral Roberts University with Alex obtaining her degree in Psychology and Angelica obtaining her degree in Business Administration. They have both dedicated a majority of their careers working with Black and Brown youth in the public charter school systems in Sacramento and the Bay Area. Through Young Legacies, Inc, Alex and Angelica plan to not only inspire Black youth to explore and excel, but to give them the tools necessary to leave their mark on the world and build an impactful legacy.
