At the United States Youth Forum, we strive to help youth actively shape change and build movements. Every year, young people across the country are raising their voices on issues that matter: education equity, climate justice, mental health access, LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, and more.

This past year, we've...

Grown our team with volunteers in social media, project management, and fundraising.
Received several submissions for our celebration of youth, music, message, and making change...in honor of African American Music History Month!
Begun the onboarding of new board members to help mentor young volunteers.

We recognize that passion creates movements.

So we're also releasing a guide for you, a young person who wants to enact change. You could be beginning your journey into activism, or just looking for a little extra guidance. Maybe you’ve got big ideas but don’t know where to begin. We've put together some tools, resources, and platforms to turn your LOUD AND PROUD ideas into action.

Follow us at @usyouthforum or at unitedstatesyouthforum.org to check out our latest work!

This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to stand with the next generation of changemakers.

Every dollar donated directly supports our ongoing and upcoming goals including:

Youth-led, youth driven social campaigns that empower underrepresented communities organize for change.
Workshops and close mentorships to help our youth volunteers grow their skill sets.
Partnerships with other youth nonprofits to expand our reach and network.

Help us fuel the movement for youth-led change and ensure that our youth can feel loud, proud, and supported.
