Advocates for Youth

Advocates for Youth has been a member of Level Forward's Impact Advisory Group since 2023, and has partnered with LF on a variety of projects including American Woman and Romeo + Juliet.

Advocates for Youth empowers young people—and their adult allies—to champion bodily autonomy and transform systems to secure sexual health and equity for all youth. Their vision is a society that values, respects, and dignifies every young person; accepts sexuality as a natural part of human life; and ensures access to inclusive sex education, confidential health services, and the economic and social power to make informed decisions. They collaborate with youth throughout, recognizing that systemic factors like poverty, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, racism, and sexism drive disparities—and aim to dismantle these through coalition-building, capacity-strengthening, and mobilizing marginalized youth via their 75,000-strong Youth Activist Network operating across over 1,200 U.S. campuses and in 120+ countries
