As we enter the last few days of 2024, please consider a $5 donation to the National Collaborative for Transformative Youth Policy’s Collecive Care Fund! Most of our young leaders’ expertise comes from personally experiencing harm done by our country’s economic, mental health, and carceral systems. The effects of that harm, along with the impacts of racism and other systems of power, often lead to financial challenges – a medical bill, a delayed student aid payment, or a lost job that can derail anyone’s best-laid plans. We expect these needs to grow in 2025, when public programs are cut and the youth at the center of our work are under increased threat. We set a goal of $10,000 to get the fund off the ground. We know our community can reach it, $5 at a time. Thanks in advance for your support!

From honoring movement ancestors to celebrating the resilience of community and youth leadership, gratitude is at the heart of our journey at #TYPCollab. Dr. Nia West-Bey shares her reflections on what inspires her most and fuels her optimism as we move toward 2025—a year full of promise for transformative change. 🌟✨ At TYP Collaborative, we believe in the power of youth-led advocacy and community-driven solutions to dismantle oppressive systems and create equitable policies that uplift all. Let’s continue building this movement together! 🌟 What are you optimistic about for 2025? 🌟 Share your thoughts and join us in driving transformative change! Follow us for more stories, insights, and opportunities to take action.

3 ways to help ensure safe communities: 1️⃣ Youth Employment Programs – Creating equitable job opportunities for young people through initiatives like the Youth and Young Adult Development and Economic Opportunity system (YYADEO). 2️⃣ Restorative Justice Programs – Focusing on healing, accountability, and reconciliation over punishment to repair harm in schools and communities. 3️⃣ Guaranteed Basic Income – Providing financial stability to meet basic needs, reducing poverty-related economic stress and crime. By prioritizing these systemic solutions, we can build communities that are safe, equitable, and thriving for all. Let’s invest in youth. Let’s invest in justice. Let’s invest in transformative change. #TYPCollab #YouthJustice #SafeCommunities #EconomicJustice #RestorativeJustice #YouthPolicy #CommunitySafety #TransformativeChange #YouthEmpowerment #SocialImpact #GuaranteedBasicIncome

The New Deal for Youth is more than a policy framework-its a movement led by and for young people to address systemic injustices. By tackling economic inequities, promoting mental health, and rethinking the criminal legal system, it's paving the way for a future where youth can thrive. This is what bold, transformative change looks like. #TYPCollab #NewDealForYouth #YouthPower #PolicyForChange #EconomicJustice #MentalHealthMatters #YouthJustice #SocialJustice #EquityInAction #YouthAdvocacy #TransformativeSystems
