The Youth Leadership Initiative (YLI) is cultivating change makers through catalyzing leadership pathways for youth in our communities.

We’re reshaping a world where Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latinx and other youth have the power, support, resources, and collective voice to become advocates for themselves and to transform their communities.
