Civic Engagement & Advocacy
We're dedicated to empowering young advocates to shape the future of their communities through partnerships with city and county offices of education, oversight commissions, boards of supervisors, and councils. We prioritize youth involvement in crafting solutions, and educate youth to advocate effectively.
Mental Wellness
MindOneSix (MOS) speaks to the one in six youth who experience a mental health disorder every year. The initiative includes a youth-focused, facilitated mental wellness curriculum that provides opportunities for young people ages 12 to 24 to discover, explore, discuss, and obtain tools for better managing their mental health and wellness.
