National Council of Young Leaders

  • WHO WE ARE: NATIONAL COUNCIL OF YOUNG LEADERS

The National Council of Young Leaders serves as Opportunity Youth United’s steering committee.

They work to ensure youth voice, youth-action, and youth leadership are vital in shaping a culture where all people and their experiences are valued to help shape and implement solutions. With strong commitment to opportunity youth, they lead the Opportunity Youth United movement to create a platform and space for opportunity youth and their allies to organize and mobilize around OY issues and needs.
