The mission of the Joyner/Payne Youth Services Agency is to provide effective violence & gang intervention and health promotion services, thus building youth capacity to protect their safety, and establish them on a path toward independence and self-sufficiency, while protecting community safety. In addition, J/PYSA is an advocate for the African American community to ensure their needs are appropriately met and access to necessary resources are developed.

We specialize in Gang prevetion and intervention stratigies. We were apart of the Boston Miracle and now belong to San Jose's Mayors Gang Prevetion Task Force.
