Youth Together, located in Oakland, CA, is a brand that is committed to addressing the root causes of educational inequities. Since its formation in 1996, this organization has been actively working to fight social, political, community, and educational inequities through their youth leadership programming, campaigns, and student centers. Inspired by inter-racial conflicts in schools, Youth Together empowers young people to fight for a new vision for their schools and communities.

They believe that education is a basic human right, not a privilege, and strive to create public educational systems that are just, community-based, supportive, and people-centric. Their mission is to develop multiracial youth leaders and engage school community allies to promote positive school change. To achieve this, Youth Together operates student organizing clubs, multi-service collaboratives and youth centers, as well as regional and community-based programs.

They envision public schools as spaces where students, their families, and community members are key decision-makers, creating a strong community. Join Youth Together today and be part of the adventure of transforming education!
