YouthCreate is the Blueprint
YouthCreate: Young People Creating Community Solutions is a national initiative designed to empower low-income teenagers to imagine, design, and lead community improvement projects that transform both their lives and the neighborhoods they call home.
Teens get to Lead, Create, and Transform Their Communities
There are few life experiences more transformational for young people than knowing they have the permission, resources, and adult support to identify and solve a problem in their world, and then to carry it out to completion.
