The Young Activist Leaders Program (YALP) is a subprogram of PJALS that supports young people to make a difference on social justice causes they care about and help them connect in the greater Spokane community. YALP is for young people ages 15-22 who are passionate about social justice.
There are two main aspects of YALP: workshops and project support.
-
- Youth leaders run hands-on workshops on the basics of organizing: the most important knowledge to be an effective community organizer and leader.
- Project support provides young people with resources to advance the social justice projects they are working on. Together, young people build collective voice and true community.
This year, YALP is going through a rework as we bring new interns on staff. We are planning to start an abbreviated YALP session at the end of February, so there is still time to get involved! Sign up here, and watch for future messaging about dates for the upcoming session!
