"“Empower. Serve. Thrive.”
Mission
The mission of Purple U Youth Foundation is to empower youth leaders and expand access to education, STEM, and global service opportunities for under-resourced, immigrant, and special-needs children. Through a youth-led, community-driven approach, we foster leadership, collaboration, and meaningful impact—locally and globally.
Our Story
Purple U Youth Foundation was founded in 2024 in Bellevue, Washington, with a simple but powerful belief: young people can lead meaningful change when given purpose and opportunity.
What began as a youth-driven effort to support under-resourced and immigrant children has grown into a nonprofit organization committed to education, STEM engagement, and global service. Led by dedicated Youth Board members and guided by experienced adult mentors, Purple U creates hands-on learning experiences, community outreach programs, and long-term global partnerships that expand access to education and essential resources.
From local STEM workshops and literacy initiatives to international service projects in Mongolia and Mexico, Purple U Youth Foundation continues to empower children to thrive—while cultivating compassionate, globally minded youth leaders who serve their communities with purpose.
