DISRUPT Utah

Our Mission:

D.I.S.R.U.P.T. Utah (DU) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to engage with youth in state custody, those on the pathways to incarceration and/or justice-involved, and those coming from low-to-moderate income homes, to disrupt generational trauma, strengthen cross-cultural awareness, exercise emotional resilience, and actively commit to inclusivity and belonging. 

Our Vision:

➤ Founded on our values of justice, racial and social equity, we strive to develop equitable practices and foster a sense of inclusion among emerging generations by focusing on collective liberation and respect. We seek to create an inclusive world by honoring our duty as future ancestors, through youth engagement among those most marginalized.

Our Values: 

➤ We believe youth are powerful change agents liberating those within systems of oppression 

➤ We value having difficult conversations and cultivating growth within the discomfort

➤ We value providing access to a higher quality of life, which we believe is a human right

➤ We value transparency and accountability as cornerstones to creating a safe environment

➤ We value differences, and acknowledge our privilege by creating space for those most silenced and amplifying their voices.
