Youth United for Community Action

We launched Higher Learning in June of 1997, whose goal is to create a safe space where high school Youth can come together to examine and act on issues that impact their communities. In 2010 we renewed our commitment to environmental and social change, and Youth organizing, resulting in the launch of two new campaigns, a leadership and basebuilding network in East Palo Alto, the revamp of our staffing structure to better support Youth-to-staff transitions, and a resource development plan aimed to diversify our funding sources. Currently, our work involves leadership development, Community organizing, and coalition building.
