Elevate Youth Solano
Elevate Youth Solano (EYS) is a group of diverse youth advocates who understand that their voices and perspectives matter and are working towards building communities that are just, healthy, safe, and supportive of their unique needs.
This 10-month youth-led social impact institute supports and teaches youth of color, grades 9-11, to advocate for and effect change to environmental conditions through:
-
Ethical Leadership Development
-
Intergenerational & Peer Mentoring
-
Youth Activist/Mobilization Campaigns
-
Culturally-Derived Education and Training
There is something sublime in the youth who possesses the spirit of boldness and fearlessness who has proper confidence in his ability to do and dare.
