# Youth Engaged 4 Change

Adults can’t do it alone. Youth play an important role in strengthening programs and improving youth outcomes. Youth Engaged 4 Change (YE4C) was created by the Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs (IWGYP) in partnership with youth and young adults who make change happen every day. YE4C celebrates “change makers” who are making a difference in the world, promotes meaningful relationships between youth and adults, and connects youth with federal resources and opportunities.

**The site offers a number of features:**
                      - Information about internships, speaking engagements, conferences, and other  opportunities for youth
                      - Information and resources to help youth become successful and  build leadership skills
                      - Resources to  support youth  and empower them to support others
                      - Online “ communities ” for youth
                      - Stories about young “ change makers ” who have triumphed in spite of challenges or are passionate about making a difference in the world

**Visit YE4C** and learn from the inspiring stories created by a diverse and creative group of young people who share stories about mentoring, overcoming disability, civic engagement, foster care, LGBTQ issues, and more.

**Please help us spread the word about YE4C:**
