    • About Us

    Young Voices was created in 2006 to address the desperate need for authentic youth voice in policymaking throughout Rhode Island. Since our organization was founded, we have helped more than 750 youth transform into confident leaders who continue to make a difference across our state. Through their shared experiences and collective wisdom, we believe that youth are uniquely positioned to inform policy, and must have a seat at the table in all decisions that affect their lives.

    But having a seat is only the beginning. Young Voices works to ensure that youth are provided with innovative leadership training to fight against systems of oppression, advocate for racial justice, and advance educational equity. Our year-round Leadership Transformation Academy (LTA) creates youth-led spaces to advance policy research and build essential skills such as public speaking and critical thinking. Our programs prepare young people to shape statewide policies that permanently impact the future of our world.
