Youth Leadership in Washington State Report
Young people across Washington state are leading change in their communities. Behind that work is a growing network of organizations helping young people develop as leaders, participate in civic life, and organize around the issues that affect them most. Power Takes Practice: Youth Leadership and Social Change in Washington State, developed by the Funders’ Collaborative on Youth Organizing in partnership with Allen Family Philanthropies, provides a first-of-its-kind look at this landscape.
The findings of this landscape scan point to a field with real momentum, but one that remains uneven and under-resourced. The report identifies opportunities for funders and practitioners to strengthen organizational capacity, build stronger connections across the state, and create the conditions for young people to turn individual leadership into lasting collective power.
