When youth get together, there is ENERGY, there is CREATIVITY, there is INSPIRATION, and there is POWER.

A note about money: In order to keep the YAG going each year, we ask for $5-10/day. But, if you can’t pay that much or anything at all, you’re still welcome to come, ‘cause we want everyone to come who wants to.

You can also register when you arrive at the gathering, but if we know you are coming, it helps us to figure out how many are coming, how much food to get, who can rideshare with others, etc.

What is the Youth Activism Gathering?

The YAG is an annual event in which youth from all over the state (and sometimes fromother parts of the country as well) converge to share ideas, explore issues and methods to resolve them, and spread knowledge. It’s also a lot of fun!! The YAG is a great way to meet and connect with youth from many different backgrounds and areas and form new connections.

Who is the Youth Activism Gathering for?

We welcome people of all ages. People at previous gatherings have been mostly people in their teens, with others in their twenties and a few olders attending too.

The gathering is on a weekend in the hopes that more people who are busy during the week can make it.

Diversity of opinions and backgrounds is welcome! Come with an open mind to share ideas and meet great people.

The Gathering is a place to learn and teach about activism and organizing! And have fun!

This is an open, participatory gathering — we’d love to have you lead a workshop.
