Join Youth as Solutions℠ and the Black Clergy Collaborative

We believe youth are uniquely equipped to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems, starting in their communities. Youth as Solutions (YaS) is creating a generation of citizens passionate about positively impacting their schools and communities. The Black Clergy Collaborative of Memphis is starting a youth-led organization in Memphis focused on Civics and Democracy.

Civics and Democracy empowers young people to participate in activities that improve their community and address social issues. Teams engaged in this focus area are empowered to investigate ways to generate positive change within their schools and communities by forging pathways to active citizenship, fostering leadership, and impacting our democratic voting processes. Your investigation may lead you to facilitate voter education and registration, educate others on democracy, build community networks of support, or create structures for communities to serve together. No matter the initiative, each endeavor reflects a commitment to civic engagement and community.
