Happy 🥳

🌟 Youth Voice Week | April 13–17 🌟

Young people are leaders right now—and their voices matter. 💬

This week, we’ve been asking youth a few simple but powerful questions:
✨ What is important to you?
✨ What are your goals and dreams?
✨ What helps you feel supported?
✨ How do you want to help your community?

While this is a small and informal group so far, one thing is clear—young people care deeply, have big dreams, and want to make a difference. 💛

We’d love to hear from more youth! If you know a young person, take a few minutes to ask these questions and really listen.

TAKE ACTION NOW! The President’s budget calls for eliminating dedicated federal funding for local afterschool and summer programs, which would close 10,000 sites serving 1.4M kids nationwide.
