Youth Voices in Action

This is Why We AdvocATE

 Worcester youth are powerful storytellers. Their voices spark change, shift perspectives, and move systems. 

The Housing Crisis Affects us All

"The affordable housing crisis is, that there is no affordable housing."

YouthWorks Funding Cut Short, Summer Jobs for Youth at Stake

Youth jobs and summer opportunities started to dwindle and our youth showed up to speak on it.

Advocacy is Service

One of your greatest contributions in this world will be finding the courage and power to share your story!
