Hmong Youth and Parents United (HYPU) was established in 2008 and revitalized in 2012 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to provide culturally sensitive resources and services to the Hmong and other communities in Sacramento. HYPU is committed to assisting the underserved communities in attaining the highest practicable quality of life and thrive in the areas of family, health, and education.
From a volunteer-based grassroots organization, HYPU has grown to provide employment and career opportunities for youth and young adults. HYPU’s executive team, advisors, members at large, liaison, and volunteers are all strong-willed individuals with prodigious commitment to servicing the community.
The scope of work and capacity of HYPU has also grown in the years of its operation. Since its beginning, HYPU has worked and continues to work in establishing and facilitating programs in the areas of English and Hmong language acquisition and proficiency, literacy, parent accountability and involvement, self-discovery and development, and academic excellence. In addition, HYPU coordinates National Night Out annually for communities to engage and address public safety with local law enforcement officers, firefighters, and community leaders and organizations. In 2018, HYPU based its office location at the HOPE Center in North Sacramento and has extended its services to encompass a healthy living program to address the needs of community members such as the senior population. HYPU's current programs focus on culture and language preservation, education, youth empowerment, health and mental well-being.
