This session, TNOYS and our partners are advocating for an agenda that recognizes youth and young adults’ strengths, invests in their futures, and bolsters the critical programs that help them to thrive.
We’re proud to champion 16 policy and budget priorities that were directly influenced by over 350 youth-serving providers, youth, and young adults who have lived experiences of systems-involvement. Thank you to everyone from across seven youth-serving systems who joined our six town hall events throughout 2024 and contributed to committees, workgroups, and more.
