Youth Troopers for Global Awareness

Youth Troopers for Global Awareness is a non-profit empowering and mobilizing youth for local and global social justice. We facilitate arts-based workshops, projects, and campaigns, including Studio.89, YTGA’s revenue generating arm.

Studio.89 is a fair trade cafe & non-profit community hub providing a free space for events, workshops and resources. We encourage arts and culture, community dialogue and activism, conscious consumerism and empowerment, with a specific focus on youth leadership, employment, and volunteerism. As a revenue generating arm of Youth Troopers for Global Awareness, we aim to benefit humans, animals, and the planet.

We are empowering our community to act locally, think globally for a sustainable future.
