Youth On Board Details
ABOUT YOUTH ON BOARDSince 1994, Youth on Board (YOB) has been a leader in the field of youth organizing in the Boston area and beyond. YOB is a youth-led, adult supported program where young people of color have the space and tools to recognize and utilize the power they hold to dismantle political and economic structures that reinforce inequity. We believe in the power of students to transform their communities by recognizing that when young people are fully engaged—when their voices are heard, their opinions matter, and their unique perspective is respected—they commit themselves to making their schools, their communities, and their own lives better. In the past twenty years, we have worked in more than 5 countries, 27 states, and over 100 schools. We are a project of YouthBuild USA.Mission Youth on Board's mission is to revolutionize the role of young people in society by: - Changing attitudes and strengthen relationships among young people, and between young people and adults; - Supporting young people to be an active force for change in all aspects of their lives; and - Ensuring that policies, practices, and laws reflect young people's role as full and valued members of their communities. Theory of Change When young people are fully engaged—when their voices are heard, their opinions matter, and their unique perspective is respected—they commit themselves to making their schools, their communities, and their own lives better.
