Homegrown Youth Collaborative is a community education project based in the Southern California and Tijuana Borderlands. Our education is focused on un/re learning the carceral logics and violence of colonial education through intergenerational organizing, collective power building, and crossborder programming grounded in the principles of international solidarity. In our commitment to revolutionary educational praxis, we disrupt traditional teaching methods by building spaces for youth and adults to learn alongside each other and take control over what we learn and how we learn it.
Through political education and public interventions, we are deepening our tools for collective study and building networks for young people to be further embedded in larger movements struggling against imperialism, settler-colonialism, racial capitalism, and all forms of oppression.
If you’d like to support our work, your funds will allow us to sustain a bilingual cross border learning space through paying youth educators, expanding our political education programming, building out regular in-house trainings, events, working groups, and skill shares, as well as securing longterm resources and creating sustainable infrastructure.
