Today, we honor Indigenous peoples, their histories, cultures, and enduring contributions.

Indigenous leadership, knowledge, and advocacy continue to shape our communities and our future. This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we encourage our community to listen, learn, and recognize the voices and experiences of Indigenous communities.

Leadership starts here, and honoring the past is part of building a more just future.

What started with seeing healthcare disparities in India became a mission to make essential medical supplies more accessible.

On this week’s episode of The Power of Young People, we talk with Siri and Saanvi, co-founders of CureCo, about building a youth-led nonprofit from the ground up. They share what they’ve learned about community engagement, partnerships, healthcare access, and the importance of trusting young people with real responsibility.

Listen to the episode on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Still thinking about joining us for Service-Learning 101? This is your final call!

Tomorrow, we're taking a practical look at what separates surface-level volunteering from high-impact service-learning, including authentic community needs, academic connections, community partnership, reflection, and measurable impact.

Whether you’re building your first project or refining a long-running program, you’ll leave with concrete tools you can put to work right away.

This Voter Education Week, we’re celebrating one of the many ways young people can turn their voice into action: voting.

At nylc, we champion youth voice because young people have the knowledge, ideas, and lived experiences to shape the communities around them. Civic engagement starts with learning, asking questions, finding your voice, and taking action.

If you’re eligible to vote, make a plan to register early, learn about the issues on your ballot, and make your voice heard. And if you’re not old enough to vote yet, there are still plenty of ways to get involved, stay informed, and practice civic leadership now.

And trust us, we're holding it down at .
