Mission

The mission of the YA-YA Network (Youth Activists-Youth Allies) is to provide training and leadership experience to prepare young people to become the next generation of activists in the movement for social and economic justice. YA-YA is a youth-driven, citywide, anti-racist, anti-sexist organization and allies with the LGBTQ community. We are staffed by young activists ages 15-25. We provide core trainings in anti-oppression, organizing skills and political education then engage as leaders and active members in campaigns that directly impact youth, their families and the communities they live in.

Activities

Become a kick ass workshop facilitator or improve your existing skills. Graduates of
the Facilitation Bootcamp will take their skills on the road, bringing our School to Prison Pipeline,
Organizing 101 and other workshops out to schools and youth programs around the city. Work with the
Event Squad to host workshops at YA-YA.

There is a stipend for successful completion of the bootcamp and for each workshop you facilitate.
