What is the Youth Organizing Institute (YO!)?

Well, come to the YO! and learn about youth organizing and social change! The YO! is a week long social justice training camp for and by youth. Learn about undoing oppression and how to be an effective youth organizer and leader in your community. The doors are open to all students.
When and where is it?
The YO Institute is eight days long: August 17th-24th from 10am-4pm. Bus tokens will be provided. The location will be in Seattle, but is still to be announced. We we'll send you the location with your application confirmation.

Get paid to make change?
