“For the first time somebody asked what WE think, and then handed us the mic.”
why it matters
Young voices, amplified by technology.
Policies about young people are usually made without them in the room. Youth Speak UP! flips that: we teach young people to present, publish, and broadcast their perspectives with digital tools, then give them a real stage. Confidence built here spills into school, work, and every one of our other programs.
