CAYEN - California Youth Empowerment Network

CAYEN Advocacy

Through our work with TAY serving agencies, government partners, and TAY themselves, we have learned that youth voice is not only desired, but crucial when creating effective policies and programs for this population. With this purpose CAYEN looks to strengthen local and county TAY leadership, and increase the participation of young people not only on the state level, but in their own communities.

CAYEN members are frequently asked to be panelists or presenters at conferences, members of committees and groups, testify on legislation, and engage in their local and state-level stakeholder processes.

If you are interested in advocacy and policy making, join our mailing list to stay informed about opportunities to get involved in the policy-making that impacts TAY — both locally and at the state level!
