Youth Will

What We Strive For

Our Vision

A San Diego where every young person has everything they need to be happy, healthy, and prepared to reach their potential.

Our Mission

Youth Will is a youth-led non-profit whose mission is to empower San Diego’s youth to build a better and more equitable society. Through grassroots organizing and community outreach, we strive to create tangible change in education, housing, the carceral system, and healthcare for youth aged 25 and under.

We organize and do outreach, provide leadership development opportunities to youth, and advocate for policy and budget campaigns to prioritize youth voices. 

Our Three Pillars

✊ Build Youth Power: Organizing youth across San Diego County in order to empower them to create effective and needed change in their communities     

🤝 Improve Youth Development: Training youth and providing opportunities for them to lead action teams, facilitate meetings, and intern with Youth Will      

🏛️ Demand Youth Prioritization: Engaging youth in the policy-making process by bringing youth face-to-face with local decision-makers. Youth learn needed tools to advocate for themselves and their communities
