Youth in Action

Where youth share their stories, practice leadership, and create change in their communities.

OUR WORK

We create opportunities for youth to become agents of change through transformative youth leadership programming. We create brave spaces for youth to bring their cultures, values, identities, and truths and then build the skills and tools to name and address equity issues in their communities. Through their leadership, Youth In Action works to create more caring and fair public institutions and systems.

  • After School Programming
  • Youth-Led Workshops, Talks, and Exhibits
  • Schools in Action: In-School Programming

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At YIA we offer the notion of “best selves” and a deep commitment to intergenerational collaboration. We believe that youth and adults can learn from each other and work together to address issues within our communities. At YIA, adults serve in the role of mentorship and allyship, amplifying the voices of youth and collaboratively cultivating a space for genuine, sustainable youth-led work.
