Homegrown Youth Collaborative is a community education program based in the Southern California and Tijuana border region. We create cross-border programs where youth and adults study and organize alongside each other—challenging the violence of colonial education, taking control over what we learn and how we learn it, and building collective power across generations.
Our work is grounded in revolutionary educational praxis and a commitment to education that serves struggle, not control. We reject the carceral logic of U.S. schooling and instead build spaces where learning is shared, purposeful, and rooted in international solidarity.
Through political education, we are sharpening our tools for collective study and connecting young people to broader movements fighting against imperialism.
Support our work: Your contributions help pay youth educators, grow our political education programming, and sustain our cross-border learning space. They fund trainings, events, skillshares, working groups and the long-term infrastructure we need to keep building together.
