About Us

Youthset started in 2019 when founder Tyrone Reynolds opened a gym to local teens looking for a safe place to hang out. What began with pickup basketball games grew into Teen Zone, a hub where teens could eat, learn, and be mentored. Today, Youthset serves over 100 teens each year, offering transportation, daily meals, mentorship, and innovative programs that bridge the gap between school, home, and community.

Our Mission
To empower teens with choice, leadership, and opportunity so they can thrive in school, at home, and in the community.

Our Vision
A world where every teen — regardless of background — has access to safe spaces, mentorship, and opportunities to succeed.
