IRS990/Desc0DetermiNation: In 2015 United Roots offered an intensive youth development and media training program, called DetermiNation, for over 20 young adults ages 16-24. The DetermiNation program is tailored to support young men who are struggling to advance in their own life goals (such as employment, career, educational, or other personal goals) and who have been formerly involved in or are currently in close proximity to the street life. This program includes a weekly support group for young Black men, with guest presenters, cultural activities and educational programming. DetermiNation also provides participants with ad-hoc case management services, including supporting youth and young adults with completing high school, enrolling in college, gaining employment, securing housing and much more. DetermiNation includes a bi-weekly youth-led community organizing committee that coordinates media projects, campaigns and events. Youth participants were offered quarterly training courses in music production, video production and graphic design. The DetermiNation program disburses per diem stipends to youth participants to cover travel and food costs, and opportunities to do paid media production with UR Media. Youth are selected to present and participate in monthly community events and quarterly conferences throughout the State of California, and DetermiNation covers all travel costs for youth and staff.
