We want to turn the energy, hope, and frustration into a way forward for our generation. Based on what we hear, we’ll identify specific changes we want and push lawmakers to address the barriers young people face. We don’t want to be the first generation to be worse off than our parents!

Who are the Young Invincibles? YI is a national organization that represents the interests of 18 to 34 year­olds.
