Welcome To Youth Options Shasta

Youth Options Shasta offers a variety of programs focused on providing positive options for youth. Our  Youth Peer Court uses restorative practices to provide youth with a learning environment that teaches  responsibility. Our many and varied classes encourage youth to develop skills to manage the challenges in their lives. The  opportunities we provide for youth to engage in community activities help develop leadership skills. Our goal at Youth Options Shasta is to promote a safe and healthy community that encourages youth to learn the skills that will support them as they move into adulthood. We invite you to visit our programs page to see how you can become involved with Youth Options Shasta.

Thank you for being such an enthusiastic part of the Shasta Mud Run family. Year after year, you’ve embraced the mud, the obstacles, and the camaraderie—and together we’ve raised crucial funds to empower local youth through leadership development, substance‑use prevention, and restorative justice programs.
It is with a heavy heart that we share Youth Options Shasta will not be able to host the Shasta Mud Run this year. We know how much you look forward to the challenge—and how much we all cherish the cheers, high‑fives, and muddy memories. Please know this decision was not made lightly.
While the Mud Run won’t take place in 2025, our commitment to this community—and to you—remains unwavering. We’re actively exploring potential partners, that could possibly bring the event back in the future. 
In the meantime, you can continue making an impact by supporting our year‑round programs: the Shasta Youth Leadership Camp, Youth Peer Court, and our Youth Firesetter Prevention & Intervention initiative. Your generosity fuels positive experiences and life‑changing skills for underserved youth. To donate today, visit:

With gratitude and anticipation,
