Program accomplishments

  • Youth Will facilitated a wide range of programs focused on youth empowerment, climate justice, and community advocacy during this reporting period. Through its Youth Power Cooperatives, Youth Will created consistent spaces for young people to connect, build community, and support each other in their social justice journeys. These gatherings emphasized personal and professional development, community issues, and peer-to-peer support.The organization also hosted several community-based events aimed at educating and mobilizing youth around environmental justice. One creative event combined pot painting and plant building to highlight the importance of community gardens, sustainability, and the mental health benefits of outdoor activities. Another workshop addressed the emotional toll of climate change, helping youth process climate anxiety and transform it into meaningful advocacy. These efforts were especially vital in the wake of environmental disasters that disproportionately impacted underserved communities.Youth Will continued to invest in youth-led advocacy through trainings and direct civic engagement. Youth participants were prepared to speak at city council meetings, where they advocated for more equitable city budgets. A countywide series of youth focus groups also helped uncover urgent issues such as housing insecurity, lack of mental health resources, and gaps in services for disconnected youth. These listening sessions deepened the organizations understanding of the lived experiences of young people, especially those in underserved areas.The Climate Justice Action Team remained a cornerstone of Youth Wills programming, convening regularly to address the Tijuana River Valley Crisis. Youth were equipped with tools to analyze the environmental, health, and equity impacts of sewage pollution, and later presented their findings and demands to elected officials. This work extended into a policy workshop where youth collaborated with experts and decision-makers to identify legislative solutions. Youth also participated in a community clean-up in Mt. Hope, a historically underserved neighborhood, reinforcing their ability to lead change on the ground.
