At Utica Royalties, we believe that every young person holds the potential to lead, create, and inspire. Founded by youth, for youth, we are a nonprofit organization committed to empowering underserved children and teens in Utica, NY, through education, mentorship, arts, and wellness programs.

Our team is made up of passionate leaders, mentors, and community members who bring both lived experience and professional expertise to the table. We understand the challenges our youth face—because we’ve lived them too—and that’s why we’re deeply committed to creating opportunities for growth, confidence, and self-expression.

We foster a safe, inclusive space where young people ages 5 to 18 can explore their passions, develop life skills, and connect with role models who truly care. Whether it’s through a creative workshop, a leadership seminar, or a one-on-one conversation, every interaction at Utica Royalties is designed to uplift and inspire.

We are more than an organization—we are a movement. And we’re building a future where young voices are heard, talents are nurtured, and dreams are within reach.
