Invest in Youth Activism

In the last 15 years, the Youth Activism Project trained over 2,000 teens to lead policy advocacy and community organizing. The overwhelming sentiment of the teens who have engaged in our program?

“the youth activism project has helped me become civically engaged for life.”

History has shown that young people have always been a force for good. Our schools, neighborhoods, cities, states, and countries would be much better places for everyone if youth participation in policymaking was the norm, not the exception.

That’s the world that the Youth Activism Project is trying to build—and you can help us get there.
