Become a Youth Over Guns leader.Join us in our fight against gun violenceWe are looking for aspiring activists, and advocates to join our coalition of young leaders. The roles/positions available will require specific responsibilities. They are completely volunteer based, and serve as an opportunity to grow. Youth Over Guns will provide all youth seeking to become politically and socially active with a platform to become agents of change. We are looking for youth who believe they can truly represent and participate in an intersectional movement. These are not permanent positions within our organization, and positions may routinely rotate. We seek to give all youth a platform and opportunity to grow with us !
