Young Invincibles’ storytelling program provides a platform for young people to have their lived experiences heard. Young people are often excluded from the policymaking process, yet are widely impacted by the decisions of local and national lawmakers. YI ensures young people have seat at the table by sharing stories from those most impacted by health care, higher education, workforce, and financial policies.

Check out some of the stories below, and we hope you’ll be inspired to share your story with us here.
