We at the Youth Power Project value social and economic justice, immigrant rights, LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive rights, youth leadership and empowerment, and dismantling the school-to-prison and school-to-deportation pipeline
Our vision for Nevada begins with building a strong grassroots foundation in Las Vegas and it ends with elevating the power of working class immigrant communities in every community around the state.
We do this by informing, empowering, and mobilizing our community to take action on important issues that directly affect their families and loved ones.
We turn these values into action through engaging in the electoral process, get-out-the-vote campaigns, bill drafts, legislative engagements, and increasing our knowledge and skills necessary for everyday—such as financial literacy, healthy lifestyles and relationships, and communication.
