Your Donation Powers Youth Voice and Community Change

Youth Leadership Institute (YLI) helps harness and shape the energy, passion, and voice for those who are traditionally unheard and unrepresented. With proprietary training tools and a team of adult mentors, their innovative workshops help create effective policy change. 

A $5,000 donation helps fund YLI’s youth development model workshops that focus on leadership, research, storytelling, and campaigns that ultimately change communities. 

Your donation can also change the life trajectory of someone just like Fahad Qurashi, a Pakistani immigrant, who went from being incarcerated to joining the staff of YLI. He is now the Chief Programming Officer.
