Youth Leadership Support Network
 

The Youth Leadership Support Network is a violence prevention, arts, education, media and training network based in Washington, D.C. Its mission is to empower youth to express themselves and have a voice in society through intergenerational and diverse leadership opportunities and civic engagement. Through individual skill development and small group projects, the YLSN provides opportunities for youth to become community organizers within a context of global networking and historical youth-driven social change.

The YLSN Network connects youth and youth leadership programs with educators, artists and mentors around the block, around the nation and around the world. Drawing upon the tradition of contemporary youth and student movements for community service, peace and justice, and human rights, the YLSN connects the past with the present. The Youth Leadership Support Network (YLSN) educates and trains young leaders through peer and mentor-based experiential learning, curriculum development, cultural productions, multi-media production, communications, exchange and problem-solving.

The YLSN partners with innovative youth programs, adult allies and artists to provide technical support, production expertise, and ongoing educational experiences and networking with young people and people who care about young people.
