Young People For (YP4) is a leadership development program focusing on identifying, engaging and empowering young progressive leaders to effect positive change on their campuses and in their communities.

The one-year fellowship equips young people with the skills and resources necessary to create positive progressive change today.

The fellowship is your chance to join a vibrant network of young progressive leaders! Each year Young People For selects approximately 150 students from across the country to take part in the fellowship program. Fellows will participate in regional trainings and the National Summit Washington, DC.

At the trainings and the Summit, you’ll meet other young progressive leaders from all over the country and learn powerful strategies and tactics for creating sustainable social change.

Throughout the fellowship, you’ll be offered one-on-one coaching, technical support and media assistance while implementing a self-designed Blueprint for Social Justice. In addition to support for your Blueprint, you will also receive help with internship placements, job opportunities, travel opportunities, and networking opportunities to add to your ability to make an impact as a young leader.
