CTE Internship Coach

Youth Leadership Institute (yli) brings together young people and their adult allies to create positive community change that promotes social justice and racial equity.  With community-based programs based in Fresno, San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo, Merced, Long Beach and the Eastern Coachella Valley, yli engages young people of color, low-income youth, and other impacted youth as advocates of social change. 

yli CORE VALUES

• Inclusion: Young people are profoundly impacted by policies affecting their communities. yli brings youth to the table and works to institutionalize youth voice in the decision-making process.
• Innovation: Youth can often see a way forward where adults cannot. yli encourages youth to identify and implement their own solutions to the issues their communities face.
• Social Justice: Throughout history, young people have ignited and led social justice movements to create a better world for everyone. yli helps them to focus their attention on the root causes of injustice, and sharpen the skills they need to tackle them. 
• Community: Nobody can do it alone! Through relationship and coalition-building, yli feeds the connective tissue within our communities to power our movements with the brilliance, resourcefulness, and wisdom of our partners.
