Help us raise money

$2500 challenge match! All funds raised will be matched dollar for dollar. Youth Leadership Institute (www.yli.org) works in communities where youth leaders and their adult allies come together to create positive social change. Over the past 25 years, YLI has worked with over 89,000 young people ages 12 to 26 in 220 communities nationally and internationally. YLI believes that these nontraditional youth leaders are the leaders that we need to develop to become the future decision makers, elected officials, government agencies and advocates that reflect the current and future demographic of America. Marin County Youth Commission is the political voice for young people. Commissioners conduct community-based research and launch advocacy campaigns in three key areas: educational equity, alcohol/drug prevention, and race equity. All funds raised by youth and staff will benefit the Youth Fund: a seed investment pool for youth with creative social justice ideas.
