Youth Stand Up (YSU) offers video profiles of young civic leaders, civic action exemplars, explainer videos, and a step-by-step process for projects run by youth. As students work through YSU’s five step process, they will learn the specific skills needed to identify, research, plan, and carry out the change they believe is most important. Youth Stand Up is designed to support teachers as they engage and empower emerging student citizens in the process of creating positive change in their communities.
