The League of Young Voters (LYV) is the national, cross-partisan civic home of Young America. We are a nonprofit building a united front for the future; a movement where young people don't just participate in democracy, but shape it.
LYV exists to amplify youth voices, elevate youth issues, and work toward bold, principled reform across the most urgent dimensions of American life: the economy, education, wellbeing, technology, governance, and the environment.
We are not a campaign or a partisan machine. We are a movement-building institution rooted in values, truth, and the world we're ready to improve. Our advocacy is based in pragmatism and real-world solutions.
We advocate, organize, educate, and publish, driven by one question:
What kind of a world are we building for ourselves, and what will we leave behind?

Youth Aren't a Niche
We are workers, voters, students, caregivers, leaders — and we belong at the center of America's decisions.
Protect the People
Institutions must serve the public, not profit or power. We advance transparency, accountability, and real wellbeing.
The Future Must Be Livable
We’re inheriting outdated systems. We owe it to ourselves and the next generation to leave the world better than we found it.

Our Core Issues
Economic Opportunity & Security
Young Americans are squeezed by rising costs, student debt, low wages, and a rigged job market. We focus on building fairer systems, where everyone can build a life, not just survive.
Mental, Physical, & Societal Wellbeing
A full-spectrum health crisis is hitting our generation hard, from mental health struggles and social disconnection to a broken healthcare system. Wellbeing isn’t a luxury. It’s a public responsibility.
Education & Life Readiness
Schools are misaligned with real life. From outdated curriculum and missing civic education to rising costs and lack of purpose, we’re rethinking what education is for, and who it’s failing.
Technology, AI, & Digital Autonomy
Our lives are shaped by systems we didn’t design and can’t control. From addictive algorithms to AI overreach, we fight for a future where digital power serves the people, not the other way around.
Government Reform & Civic Power
Young people are shut out of power. We’re inheriting broken institutions, corrupted by money, partisanship, and inaction. We support reforms that empower youth voice, fix dysfunction, and restore trust.
Environmental Protection & Sustainability
Our ecosystems, health, and future are under threat, from toxic pollution, collapsing biodiversity, and reckless resource use. We advocate for bold stewardship that protects what we all depend on.
