OUR MISSION

At the United States Youth Forum, our mission is to empower underserved youth by normalizing youth-led civic engagement as an essential part of community and societal change. We strive to create accessible, inclusive opportunities for young people to develop leadership, advocacy, and community organizing skills. Through volunteer opportunities that align with their talents and passions, we enable youth to actively shape change, build movements, and make informed decisions, fostering a healthy, ongoing relationship with the process of creating positive change in their communities.

The United States Youth Forum is an organization where youth voices come together to form a collective, regardless of sex, religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, or partisan identity. USYF’s focus is not only on raising awareness of issues that impact youth in America, while advocating for consequential change.
