Calafia is yli’s statewide youth policy journal that amplifies the narratives of young people on topics and issue areas important to them and their communities.
Calafia Fellows are selected every year from each yli office to create and edit the issue’s theme and the stories presented. They are also mentored by experienced reporters, travel to statewide and national media conferences, and learn the steps to producing a printed publication.
Podcasts
In 2022-2023, Calafia fellows created the podcast, Mind the Gap: Suppressed to Addressed to uplift the voices and experiences of people impacted by injustice.
