Young People For Slam
Young People For, a project of People For the American Way Foundation, is a youth-driven program that identifies and invests in campus activists and leaders and connects them to others in the progressive movement. The program provides a network for emerging leaders and helps them cultivate skills in message development, media and communications, community activism, fundraising, research, and leadership.
