Giving a Voice to America's Youth

As the last few years have demonstrated, young people in America contain an incredible passion for making the world a better place and ensuring a more secure future. Whether from leading the global climate movement, to campaigning for common-sense gun reform, or being a part of the most politically active generation of young people. This generation is highly motivated, committed in their beliefs, and ready to fight for change. In March 2021, in this environment, the United States Youth Forum (USYF) was founded with the goal to amplify youth voices and connect young people together. Our mission as a youth-founded and youth-led organization is to empower young people to connect with their local communities, as well as to share their perspectives and engage in dialogue with each other.

​

The voices of young people should not be sidelined – it is important to have young people not only in the room, but to also be seated at the table. In dialogue, in equal participation. We believe, a diversity of views and backgrounds is vital for informing decision-makers in positions of power, and for impacting local change. Young people remain the most valuable asset a local community has. USYF is dedicated to nurturing that asset and providing the resources young people need to thrive – as students, activists, organizers, young professionals, and citizens.
