Each chapter has a community activator: a leader who helps organize chapter meetings and is a representative of that chapter to the larger network. The activator provides an annual report to the Youth Congress about its activities from the previous year.
Each chapter mobilizes its own activities that makes sense for its community. The Youth Congress is non-prescriptive: we don’t require projects to look a certain way, as long as they align with our bold vision. As a result, we have chapters organizing national conventions and others working on a singular sustainable project with a local company. All are welcome in the Youth Congress umbrella.
We’re always expanding! Please click the button above to apply to join the Youth Congress. We’ll connect you with resources necessary to start a chapter or connect with other people in your city who are starting a chapter, but aren’t yet on the map. We’re so excited you’re here!
