Youth Voices.

Speaking out about an issue that matters to you is an important part of being an engaged and involved community leader.

Our programs encourage youth to share their experiences and practice listening to different perspectives. From school lunches to gun violence, check out what young people from across the country have to say on the issues that impact them most.
