Youth Campaigns
Here are some examples of what youth organizers are working on!

Gender-Affirming Resources (GAR)

-
Youth adult co-facilitation as a way forward for sharing the truth about queer and trans youth.

Design and facilitate youth and adult-facing workshops to make schools freer and better for all.

Emergence
This campaign was created to make a space where Youth Organizers can respond, collectively, to the world around us. Emergence refers to when a chance event or a new opportunity can lead to a positive/successful strategic change in direction. In some ways, this is the root of community organizing. We never know what the world is going to offer us, and in our new political environment where bodily autonomy is under attack, we know that what’s happening on a broader, more national scale can and will show up locally - in both challenging and empowering ways.
Let's Create Change Together!
Through youth-led campaigns, training weekends, regional groups and statewide events, youth organizers share in the work of building the base of youth ready to respond to the needs of their compatriots.
By learning, growing, and taking risks for liberation, youth organizers support Outright's work of centering youth voice and power.
