Our Vision
Youth leaders and adult allies working together to guarantee that all of New York City's young people are equipped with the skills, resources, and community supports needed to thrive as happy, healthy, and impactful citizens of the world.
Our mission
We power collective impact that is
- community-led, particularly by young people most impacted by inequity;
- comprehensive, recognizing the interdependence of systems, institutions, people, history, and context;
- co-creative, with people of diverse backgrounds, identities, and perspectives working together;
- equity-centered, unrelenting in our pursuit of a world in which social, economic, and political outcomes are not based upon a person’s background or identity;
- well-capitalized, investing generously in community-led change;
- caring, valuing not just metrics and numbers, but dignity, respect, and belonging; and
- courageous, where we dare to be vulnerable, take risks, and act
Our Values
Lead with Love • Build in Public • Own Our Impact • Embrace Emergence • Act on Principle
To power youth-led collective impact, we mobilize community, share information across silos, develop leaders, generate resources for collective impact initiatives, and establish avenues to systems change.
