get involved
Whether you're new to politics or an experienced activist, you have the power to create change now. When you participate in our free and flexible programs, you join an encouraging and vibrant community of teen changemakers across New York City (and the country!).
Whichever program you choose, you'll develop skills to listen deeply, understand diverse perspectives, and articulate your own views in an inclusive, welcoming space. Plus, you'll gain valuable leadership and career skills that will support you in achieving your goals beyond high school. Together, we'll explore civics beyond the classroom and beyond the ballot box, diving into the issues that matter most to you(th).
