We discover emerging social impact talent and support current champions of progress. We introduce legendary humanitarians to the men and women not far behind them, and the young adults who aspire to their courage. We are the place where heroes ignite: spread ideas, collaborate, inspire others, scale impact.
Our rallying cry is not around a single problem, one global issue that affects millions or even a small local issue that wreaks havoc on a few hundred. Systemic issues, like educational and economic inequity, persistent environmental issues that plague under-resourced communities, racism and intolerance, cannot be met with singular, neat and tidy solutions. Social justice issues move by the sustained efforts of many individuals.
We call on you to help us recognize, empower and equip heroes, to permanently change the world.

Youth Leadership Councils (YLCs) was established through an effort by NYC Service to develop future leaders and create a culture of youth voice in our city. YLCs are groups of trained young people between ages 14-21 and in high school, who work with adult leaders on a defined area of policy, practices and/or advocacy service to impact individuals and communities with a focus on youth. After all, who can be better at creating effective policies for youth than young people themselves?
