The Maine Youth Action Network (MYAN) is a statewide Network of support for youth and adults who are striving to effect positive change. We strongly believe in the power of youth and adult partnerships, and the capacity we all have to change the world we live in.

MYAN staff are available by phone or email for individual technical assistance to answer questions, offer resources & ideas, or connect you with other programs for peer support.

RESOURCES

MYAN has a huge resource collection of web links, contacts and downloadable handouts on tons of different topics. There are pages specifically for youth-adult partnership and youth leadership skill development, but check out all the pages. There's lots of great stuff!
