We can't wait to hear from you!
We're thrilled to announce we're in active planning with The Academy Project!
The Academy Project provides holistic care for foster youth and their families, focused on promoting independence, self-confidence, well-being, and growth. They collaborate with other organizations in the community to empower foster youth to thrive academically, emotionally, and creatively.
​
We're so excited for the opportunity to support their mission through meaningful relationships with shelter dogs!
​
We'll have more information to share soon.
K9 Youth Alliance empowers youth and enriches the lives of shelter dogs through the human-canine bond!

Halee Yue’s project, FYRST Pack (Foster Youth Rising through Service and Tails): Lead the Pack, Change Your Story, has won the 2024 UCLA Health Equity Challenge!
We are proud to be a community partner, alongside The Academy Project, on this innovative project that aims to design a leadership and wellness program for foster youth in L.A. County.
​
The vision? To foster resilience and emotional well-being by connecting youth with shelter dogs and supportive mentors, using hands-on training as a tool for growth, healing, and connection.
​
We’re honored to support the development of this exciting initiative and can’t wait to see what’s ahead. Congratulations, Halee!
