About Youth at Heart	Youth at Heart (YAH) is a new agency formed in 2003 by the merger of Destination Discovery and Helping Hands of Tulsa. We provide educational and recreational after-school and summer programs for youth ages 6-18 who live in Tulsa’s public housing communities and low-income apartment complexes.
