the reclamation project @ 916
Building tomorrow, beginning today.
The Reclamation Project @ 916 is a 100% youth-run, grassroots social justice organization delivering liberating education, equitable resource development, community-based wellness, and solidarity to historically-marginalized and under-served communities and youth throughout California and beyond.
Established in late 2020 in Sacramento County, The Reclamation Project @ 916 centers student advocacy, with a dedicated youth leadership team building long-lasting mutual aid programs, empowerment events, and public forums igniting systems-change, centered around community problem-solving, direct action, and organizing in addressing disproportionate gaps in public health, civics, policy, education, and socioeconomic development faced by low-income communities of color. An award-winning organization recognized the national and international levels, The Reclamation Project @ 916 has mobilized 65,000+ community members across California to advocate for policy and revolutionary-based programs that prioritize the liberation, dignity, health, systemic-level needs, and livelihood of communities often overlooked—especially youth of racially and socioeconomically marginalized identities—and has successfully reinvested $150,000+ into youth anti-oppression efforts in public service, health resources, mentorship and community organizing, scholarship, narrative change, political education, and civic engagement. Today, The Reclamation Project @ 916 leads 200+ volunteers and organizers, 1,000+ programming learners, and a coalition of 100+ California-based changemaking entities, professionals, and public officials to achieve social justice.
The Reclamation Project @ 916 continues to spearhead statewide and nationwide programs that transforms systems-impacted youth into proactive agents of transformation, igniting revolutionary potential in mutual aid, healing justice, liberating education, and solidarity/coalition-building.
