Youth Leadership Support Network is a violence prevention, arts, education, media and training network based in Washington, D.C. Its mission is to empower youth to express themselves and have a voice in society through intergenerational and diverse leadership opportunities and civic engagement. Through individual skill development and small group projects, YLSN provides opportunities for youth to become community organizers within a context of global networking and historical youth-driven social change.

Since its founding in 1998, YLSN has worked with more than twenty thousand youth, partnered with hundreds of musicians and artists, collaborated with dozens of media mentors, and built relationships with sister organizations locally and globally.

We invite you to join us.
