Identity, Inc. is a non-profit positive youth development and health promotion organization based in Montgomery County, focused on assisting Latino youth and their families. Founded in 1998, Identity offers a wide array of programming from social emotional learning, recreation, and academic support for children in elementary school, middle school, high school, and Youth Opportunity Centers serving older youth who are disconnected from school and work.

Each year Identity serves over 3,000 youth and their families, and has become a leader in the region for service and advocacy on behalf of Latino youth, earning numerous recognitions and awards. Identity is a driving force in the community addressing critically important social determinants of health for a highly marginalized and vulnerable group of families.
