Y-MAC stands for Youth Making a Change. Since 1991, Y-MAC has been a dynamic, multi-ethnic, youth-led organization that builds the leadership and power of high school age low-income young people and people of color in San Francisco. Youth Organizers recruit, educate and mobilize Y-MAC members to wage policy campaigns that win concrete improvements for young people and build their capacity to create long-term social change. Through peer education, citywide cultural events, direct action, advocacy and an intensive leadership development process, Y-MAC is training a new generation of grassroots leaders to create a more just, democratic society.
