Welcome to the new MYAN.ORG!
"Young people should be at the forefront of global change and innovation. Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace. If, however, they are left on society's margins, all of us will be impoverished. Let us ensure that all young people have every opportunity to participate fully in the lives of their societies."
~Kofi Annan

The Maine Youth Action Network (MYAN) trains, supports, connects and advocates for youth organized to effect positive change through school and community-based peer programs. We are a partnership of youth and adult staff working to help youth and their advisors in peer groups to fulfill their own mission. Youth groups of all types can be part of MYAN, including social action, prevention, education, peer listening, mediation, mentoring, health promotion, civil rights and others. If your group is working to make a positive difference, join the network to gain ideas, support and information from other young people and advisors from across the state.
