About Us

Renegades For Life Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization on a mission to mitigate the detrimental effects of apathy and the absence of dynamic virtual mentorship programs and support services for the vulnerable youth population in King County and the greater Seattle area. We proudly stand at the forefront of youth development, recognized and officially licensed by Orbis for our groundbreaking Y.A.S.I (Youth At Risk Case Management) software.

Our commitment to this cause goes beyond being just another nonprofit organization; we are a movement devoted to reshaping the lives of children and youth in King County, Washington. Our visionary founder, Saleem Robinson, conceived a brighter future for vulnerable youth, and it was from this vision that Renegades For Life Inc. emerged.

What sets us apart is our dedicated and empathetic staff, each of whom possesses firsthand experience and deep connections within the communities we serve. Through unwavering dedication and individual efforts, our programs empower youth to redirect their focus towards brighter prospects and the construction of a more promising future. We offer a range of programs tailored to young adults in Seattle, and we also serve as a viable alternative to juvenile incarceration.

At Renegades For Life Inc., we believe in the potential of every young person, and it is our collective mission to nurture that potential and guide these individuals towards a path of growth, resilience, and hope. Together, we are working tirelessly to uplift the future of our youth and create a positive ripple effect throughout our community.
