YALT Teams
YALT teams are trained in community organizing skills developed by Marshall Ganz of Harvard Kennedy School. Teams are paired with our partner organizations to recruit and mobilize needed resources. We have currently closed the 2012 application process and will begin accepting applications for the 2013 year in October.
Meet the 2012 Teams
“Young people come of age with a critical eye and a hopeful heart. It’s that combination of critical eye and hopeful heart that brings change. That’s one reason why so many young people were and are involved in movements for social change.”
