Invest In Youth LB

Invest in Youth is a coalition of Long Beach organizations creating a progressive city where youth are a budget priority and lead the way in creating a healthy, thriving community.

The Long Beach Invest in Youth Coalition

The Long Beach Invest in Youth (IIY) Coalition is a citywide network of grassroots organizations and community members who believe all young people should be loved, believed in and cared for! Through leadership development, advocacy, and participatory budgeting we work together to ensure our city guarantees its youth residents opportunities to thrive in strong, healthy, and whole communities no matter their zip code, age, race, ability, income, or immigration status.
