Gender-based Affinity Spaces

Several of our programs are specifically designed to create gender-based affinity spaces for youth. These programs address gender-based stereotypes, violence, and mental health, and provide spaces for youth to envision, plan and implement campaigns tailored to their specific needs.

I spent 15 years of service with yli, focusing on areas ranging from Transportation Justice, Financial & Economic Justice, Health Equity, and Training & Consulting Services. yli changed my life by creating the “place” where I was able to USE MY VOICE and develop the skills to create systems change. I grew up at yli, both professionally and socially, and what I gained from the people and my experiences continue to serve as the guiding star in my life and career.
