The Youth Action Network is the catch-all for Youth Allies. It’s generally how young people first get engaged with the program. It is open to any young person in northern New Mexico and you can join any time during the year.

The Youth Action Network includes monthly network meetings that are organized by Youth Allies Staff or Organizers to bring youth together to build community and start learning about sustainability & social activism together. Most often monthly Network meetings include a mixture of “get to know you” activities, service work, and resource sharing.

The Youth Action Network also connects young people to community engagement opportunities throughout the year. It is a great way to fulfill your volunteer, community service, or service-learning goals and requirements. When you join the Network, you get one-on-one mentoring and support from our staff. We work with nonprofits throughout Santa Fe and are often the “go-to” organization when others are looking to engage youth in their community improvement efforts – so Youth Allies will definitely open up a lot of doors and opportunities for your positive engagement in the community.

The Youth Action Network offers support services in areas beyond community engagement including educational resources, information to support youth-led project work (including grant opportunities), and social service references.
