Young Invincibles has empowered young adults for almost 15 years; our network of youth community and student leaders numbers in the thousands. Young adults have proven time and time again that they will be the change past generations have hoped for. All we need to do is set them up for success. YI has embarked on a campaign to highlight the many alumni who have passed through our youth programs. Some now work as our colleagues and teammates, while others have been trailblazers at other institutions and programs. Some started their own campaigns to empower others. All around the world, YI alumni are doing wonderful work in service of the community.

Our next alumni highlight is Tanisha Saunders!

Tanisha Saunders was a member of our California Young Advocates Program, a paid leadership development program. Now, Tanisha is a community advocate and works in affordable housing. Recently, she was appointed to the Los Angeles City commission for the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority.

We recently caught up with Tanisha over video and you can see highlights of our conversation below:
