Nancy Orellana
Founder/Executive Director
My journey is a testament to resilience, compassion, and purpose. As a young parent, I faced overwhelming challenges, navigating financial hardship, limited resources, and the pressure of building a future while raising my children. Instead of letting those obstacles define me, I transformed them into fuel for change.
My lived experience is my superpower. I understand what it means to struggle—and what it takes to rise. Hardship can be the foundation for hope, and that one person’s courage can spark a ripple of transformation.
Through mentorship, advocacy, and hands-on support, I help young people overcome barriers to education and discover their own strength. Whether it is connecting students to vital resources, helping them navigate complex systems, or simply offering a listening ear; the goal is to ensure no one feels alone in their journey.
We believe every child can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
Our Mission
Our mission at We Help The Youth is to prepare the youth within our community for successful futures by equipping them with skills, guidance, and experience needed for meaningful careers.

Our Vision
We see a world where youth rewrite the story of success—armed with wisdom, lifted by mentors, and driven by dreams once thought unreachable.
