California Coalition for Youth Revenue and Competitors

The California Coalition for Youth (CCY) is a statewide grassroots nonprofit organization that serves disconnected youth ages 12-24 throughout the state. Our mission is to improve and empower the lives of California's youth and our vision is that every youth in California is connected to the services, resources, support and programs they need to have successful lives. The Coalition advocates for public policies, programs, and services that respect, empower, and protect the rights of all youth. The Coalition is made up of a statewide membership of youth, youth advocates and allies, and youth-serving non-profit organizations. The Coalition is governed by a statewide Board of Directors representing youth serving programs, youth, and other individuals interested in improving and empowering the lives of youth. We work directly with our members to protect and enhance the quality of life, services and opportunities for California’s disconnected and disadvantaged youth. CCY provides members with several opportunities to connect directly with elected officials and help influence positive policy developments. Each year members are invited to join CCY staff and lobbyists at hearings, legislative meetings and other forums to help educate policymakers on critical issues and legislation that impact the well-being California’s youth.
