Since its founding in 2021, The United States Youth Forum (USYF) has been an empowering and inclusive community for young people to be heard in a world where they often aren't centered. As an organization, USYF has supported this work through:

Offering innovative volunteer opportunities and amplifying young voices
Creating informative webinars, toolkits, and social media resources
Building strategic partnerships to bring innovative ideas to life

Over the past few years, USYF has experienced significant growth. With our new Executive Director and Leadership Team in place, as well as a growing yet tight-knit volunteer group, we are excited to continue this momentum with our community thoughtfully growing and exciting new projects in the works.

Here are just a few of the exciting goals we're working towards:

Launching a USYF Youth Ambassador Program
Hiring a full-time Executive Director to help us grow
Expanding our in-person events and educational initiatives
Connecting with other youth nonprofits

As well as two exciting new campaigns!

Voices and Vibes

This campaign shines a light on young people using music to speak out about important issues. We’ll celebrate original songs from youth across the country and share the powerful history of Black musicians who’ve used their art to inspire change.

Loud and Proud

This one’s all about helping young people turn their passion into action—teaching them how to organize, build community, and make a real difference beyond just posting online.

We’ve got the ideas, the passion, and an amazing group of young leaders—but we need support to bring these projects to life. That’s where you come in!

Please consider giving to the United States Youth Forum and aid us in building a foundation for many years to come. You can also follow our work on our Instagram @usyouthforum.
