MISSION & VISION

​

Youth Advocacy Corps works to combat poverty and inequity by empowering youth to become changemakers in their own communities.

​

We envision a world in which youth lead their communities to collectively address economic and health injustices, which, in turn, will eliminate disparities and reduce the justice gap in struggling neighborhoods. 

"This program is amazing. Absolutely amazing experience.  From learning how to speak up for things I believe in to opening my eyes to possible career goals. Awesome. Thank you for believing that if we just take a stand for something we believe in, change is inevitable." —  Mamadou, 17

"You have showed me that I can make a difference by just listening to someone and introducing them to the ways that they can seek help for friends and themselves...even youth can make a strong impact on their community. " — Joel, 17
