THE PROGRAM
Following the 2024 election, it’s essential that we as young organizers, of all races, incomes, and zip codes, are equipped with a community of support, skills and knowledge to continue fighting for our freedoms, families, and futures.
The impact of Donald Trump’s administration is uncertain. But what we can control now is bringing people together to have community-informed assessments of what’s happening and get people training, skills, and ideas for action.
Above all, the Youth Collective’s goal is to deepen trust and motivation to keep showing up as organizers and leaders with our people and for the things we care about. In this moment, we need to have space for people to come together, grieve, laugh, learn, and build trusting relationships to take action.
In this moment, we need the Youth Collective.
