New Jersey Youth Advisory Council Details
The New Jersey Youth Advisory Council (NJ YAC) is an inclusive coalition of civically-engaged high school/college students that aims to create a framework where youth and their elected officials can collaborate and enact intersectional, inclusive, and transformative changes for all communities— from educational equity, gun control, racial justice, environmental justice, reproductive rights, affordable housing/homelessness, immigration, and more. The 2020 election underscored the influence and power of youth. As we enter a new wave of congressional and presidential leadership in 2021, we must sustain the youth-progressive movement for a brighter, better New Jersey by continuously engaging and mobilizing young people to develop and implement solutions to New Jersey's most dire issues. We must build a pipeline for youth to become politically involved— intersecting the immense power of governance and grassroots organizing to build a brighter, better New Jersey. NJ YAC is supported by Blue Future + the Youth Progressive Action Catalyst— the largest progressive, youth-led, political action committee in America.
