YouthRoots programs empower young people to lead and create meaningful change. Programs are organized into two interconnected areas — creating a full cycle from youth voice to community action.
Youth share their perspectives through research and workshops.
Those perspectives are analyzed to identify trends affecting youth.
Youth use insights to guide leadership initiatives and community projects.
Leadership programs help youth build the skills to lead initiatives that address community challenges.
Youth explore and analyze data about community issues, identify trends, and develop insights that drive leadership initiatives.
Youth run a youth-led foundation — raising funds, evaluating nonprofits, and making real grant decisions that support their communities.
Youth transform insights into real community initiatives — designing and leading projects that create meaningful change.
Voice & Insight programs elevate youth perspectives and transform them into insights that help communities understand what young people need.
A youth-driven research initiative gathering and analyzing youth perspectives on issues affecting young people.
Participatory sessions where youth share their experiences through guided discussions and surveys.
An interactive platform making youth data visible to educators, funders, and community leaders.
Join us in creating meaningful opportunities for young people to lead, give, and shape their communities.
