Youth Committee

You can make real, tangible changes to how streets and sidewalks function in New York City.

The Youth Committee chooses local campaigns and fights for changes on-the-ground in all five boroughs, like safer streets around schools and expanding affordable access to Citi Bike for students.

Join us at the next meeting to get involved in making these campaigns a success!


We meet every Friday (except holidays) from 4:30-6 p.m.

Our meetings switch between in-person and virtual each week, so fill our our interest form today.
