Our Youth
Get to Know Us
The 2025 Cohort comprises 29 youth from the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, Inner Beauty Inc., New B.O.Y, and Struggle Made Me. Their work primarily involves finding new solutions for homelessness, navigating police interactions with youth in school, reforming school policies, addressing youth gun violence, and providing professional development for school staff and the community. We will provide the resources below as we continue working in these areas.
