You may have marched, organized, or spoken up when something felt off. Maybe you’ve watched young leaders around the world take bold stands and wondered what it would look like to step in more fully yourself.
This moment in the U.S. is loud, uncertain, and consequential. Policies are shifting fast. Rights and systems many people assumed were stable are being debated, rolled back, or rewritten.
For young adults coming of age right now, this isn't someone else's moment. It's yours. The choices made now by those in power will define your future. Let's make it a future worth investing in.
Now you have the opportunity to take a gap year in 2026. Defer your college admission or take a leave of absence from school to dedicate yourself to campaign work or organizing around an issue that speaks to you. Your voice is more important than ever!
We are here to give you the information you need to make it happen.
