About This Cause
The Alliance for Youth Organizing began as the Bus Federation Civic Fund. We founded our Federation with the belief that our generation could drive change, that new perspectives and energy propagate better ideas, and that innovation and excitement can tackle the biggest challenges we face. It began as grassroots young people’s organizations united to support each other, raise resources together, and learn from each other’s best ideas. Our earliest Affiliates named the national network after one of their earliest shared programs – “Bus Trips” taken to knock on doors for progressive causes. As our network pivoted into winning national issue campaigns and supporting locally rooted youth organizing everywhere, we found a new identity to match our newer, bigger mission - the Alliance for Youth Action. The core work of our organizations has remained the same for over a decade, but we have adapted our strategies and tactics around new political realities and technological developments while leveraging our growing reach. The Alliance plays a key role in convening and supporting a network that is stronger together than any of our organizations could be on their own. Our expanded work is to serve as a hub for youth organizing across the country, which we do through four core strategies: strengthening Affiliate capacity to build more effective and efficient organizations on the ground; achieving scale and impact through national programs, issue campaigns, and a shared research agenda; connecting national resources; and, incubating like-minded, local organizations in order to grow and diversify our network.
