The CYVYC team extends our deepest thanks to our Youth Ambassadors, advisory board, CYVYC partners, and national coalition members who guided and strengthened this work for five inspirational years. Your insight and dedication helped shape a more inclusive future.
Over the years, we’ve accomplished so much together. We trained more than 40 Youth Ambassadors to advocate for decision-making rights. These incredible emerging leaders have championed alternatives to guardianship and shared their voices to create real change across their states.
We have also supported 11 dedicated state teams working on meaningful progress in their communities. These teams of tireless advocates formed a vibrant community space to share ideas, learn from one another, and build lasting momentum to promote alternatives to guardianship. We are confident this community will continue their important work beyond the life of this project.
Thank you to all who made CYVYC so impactful. We are proud of what we’ve built together—and excited to see where this movement goes next!
