Oceanside Youth Partnership is a character-building and mentoring program designed for teenage youth. This 12-week program aims to reduce juvenile delinquency, lower recidivism, and offer alternatives to street gangs, substance abuse, and a life trapped in the criminal justice system. Each week the lesson plan focuses on different values such as Personal Responsibility, Ethics, Service, Perseverance, Education, Courage, Trustworthiness, and Discipline. Additionally, the program is used as a means to deepen bonds between youth and the Police Officers in their community.

Our mission is to build meaningful relationships with the youth of Oceanside that will inspire and guide them toward positive life choices.

Working with our community partners, OYP will provide mentorship and life skills to the youth of Oceanside that will better prepare them to live productive lives.
