more about us!
No longer will we adopt a grind culture and a hyper-focus on achievement to bring about change. Instead, we are committed to living out the future we want to see, right now. By prioritizing wellness and learning, we allow youth to experience what it’s like to belong to a healthy, loving community. And that experience, coupled with a deep knowledge of complex systems, will translate to bold and wise leadership from the next generation.
Collectively, the young people of Colorado will guide us all towards a future where all people are healthy and all systems are just.
Our Vision
Within our lifetime, the collective voice of young people will be central to the social and political leadership of Colorado.
Our Mission
CYC is a statewide community that cultivates the healing and leadership of young people to guide us all into a future grounded in justice and wellbeing.
Collectively, the young people of Colorado will guide us all towards a future where all people are healthy and all systems are just.
