About this program

In this moment of intensified repression, young people are on the frontlines, confronting injustice with bold vision, creativity, and collective power.

Youth leadership has always been at the heart of our work. Today, more than ever, we are committed to nurturing youth-led organizing spaces and mentorship models grounded in mutual respect, not hierarchy or adultism.

Over the years, our youth programs have included: Young People’s Council, Youth Community Action Program (YCAP), Youth Speak Truth Radio, Septima Clark Community Power Institute (SCCPI), Flagway, Youth Movement Assemblies. These programs cultivate skills, knowledge, and confidence, enabling young leaders to identify challenges, design solutions, and take action.
