Youth for Health and Justice
The Youth for Health and Justice program is for high school girls and gender expansive youth entering grades 9th – 12th during the 2025 - 2026 school year. The Youth for Health and Justice Program will educate, engage, and inspire youth to be future voters, leaders, and candidates by building knowledge and skills while instilling positive attitudes toward politics and leadership.

This summer we are excited to offer Youth for Health and Justice, from June 23 - July 18 (no program on July 4th).

Youth for Health & Justice is for girl identified youth who are looking to be a part of the movement for equity and respect for all. In this summer program, teens will learn about the movement to ensure a future where everyone has access to quality healthcare- focusing on reproductive health inequities in our communities and country. Teens will get the knowledge and tools to become powerful advocates for themselves and their loved ones, learning their reproductive health rights as young people and exploring the gaps that exist in our country that result in women, girls, BIPOC folks, and LGBTQIA+ folks lacking complete access to health services they deserve. Teens will share and learn in a safe and open space where they can create connections with each other and their facilitator, all while gaining self-advocacy skills that will support them for a lifetime. There will also be weekly field trips on Fridays. At the end of the summer program, they will work together on a fun art or media project focused on raising awareness for others about the importance of reproductive health justice and rights.

Youth will get a $200 stipend for attendance, participation, and project completion.
