Welcome to the Youth Action
Network of Memphis!

The Youth Action Network is a one-stop shop connecting all Memphis youth with resources, opportunities, and a united community. This website was created by youth, with youth, and for youth - together, we will build a more just  Memphis.

Youth Ignite

On February 2, 2019, we had the opportunity to talk about the Youth Action Network at the Youth Ignite pitch competition! Check out Laura's speech to learn more about our vision to increase accessibility of the website in the future!

How will you get involved today?

About the Network

The Youth Action Network was first created by two different groups of youth activists: Incarcerated Youth Speaking Out for Change and the Education Justice Cohort of Bridge Builders CHANGE. Both are working to end the school-to-prison pipeline in Memphis. 

There are many pillars that hold up this oppressive system, and the Youth Action Network aims to chip away at two of these: ​ unequal access of resources and opportunities in our city AND the division of youth in our city.

We believe that if we can unite the youth of Memphis and provide a platform for all to share their experiences, get access to resources and opportunities, and mobilize, we will have the power to demand restorative justice, build better schools and a better city.
