Young people care deeply about their communities—and when adults and youth partner together, communities are stronger and healthier for everyone.

The Maine Youth Action Network is a statewide community of committed adults and passionate young people who believe in the transformative power of youth leadership. We value young people’s thoughts, voices, and solutions for creating more equitable communities and just systems. Young people’s passion is the vehicle for building leadership skills, resiliencies, positive relationships, and personal agency. These are the factors that help young people lead healthy and successful lives.
