The Alliance for Youth Thriving is committed to building more transformative learning ECOsystems where all youth thrive.

About Us
When Youth Thrive, We All Thrive
Young people have a powerful drive to thrive—but they need more fuel. All youth have potential, but too many lack the opportunities, relationships, and conditions to flourish, putting our democracy and economy at risk.
Our alliance of over 50 coalitions, campaigns, networks, and organizations is maximizing the success of efforts to develop community-wide, year-round pathways for youth and young adults by optimizing the people, places, possibilities, and systems across the learning ECOsystem.
Together, we work to strengthen ECOsystems where Every Connection is Optimized, by collaborating, sharing resources, and advocating for policies and practice that center youth well-being, learning, and thriving at every stage of their journey.
Our Goals
Just as we aim to optimize every connection in communities, we are also working to align and activate efforts nationally and at the state level.
