Young Voices was created in 2006 to address the desperate need for authentic youth voice in policymaking throughout Rhode Island. Since the organization was founded, they have helped more than 750 BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) youth transform into confident leaders who continue to make a difference across our state. Young Voices believes that youth are uniquely positioned to inform policy, and must have a seat at the table in all decisions that affect their lives.
