Your support fuels UP’s work in empowering young people to lead change, drive social justice, and build a healthy democracy. Through programs like the Youth Internship Program (YIP), we enable youth to step into roles as leaders, innovators, and global citizens. Together, we can secure educational equity as a fundamental right, ensuring that young voices shape the future.
