NYC Youth Agenda

The NYC Youth Agenda is an intergenerational, youth-centered coalition made up of 6 youth-serving organizations and 30+ members (majority between the ages of 14-24).

Adult Allies from each member organization work in deep partnership with youth coalition members to:

• Push for forward movement on previous NYC Youth Agenda recommendations 

• Analyze and synthesize new data alongside their own powerful experiences to shed light on the ongoing and evolving needs of NYC youth

• Develop new policy recommendations in response to emerging needs and shifts in the political landscape

• Activate elected officials and key youth-serving institutions to invest in policy recommendations aimed at the holistic well-being of ALL NYC youth 

• Expand youth coalition through data-sharing, events, outreach, and rallies. 

The coalition’s current policy advocacy efforts focus on Economic Mobility, Education Equity, Environmental Justice, Housing Security, and Mental Health.
