Each year our Board of Directors votes on an issue advocacy and organizing agenda at our annual planning retreat. Our FY 2023 (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023) issue priorities include:
School Police Accountability:
We believe that school police, in their current form, lend themselves more to the school-to-prison pipeline than to the improvement of school climate.
School Climate
We believe that schools can only be improved with consistent youth voice and organizing.
Disability Awareness and Inclusion:
We believe that anyone who works with and interacts with youth should have the skills and motivation to include youth of all abilities.
Supporting efforts around Youth Homelessness
We believe that every young person has a right to stable, safe and comfortable housing.
Mental Health
We believe that youth go through a lot of hardships and need support. We believe that youth should be decision-makers around wellness strategies and resources allocation.
