What is the Opportunity Youth Initiative (OYI)?

Started in the Fox Valley, OYI works at the state and local level to improve policies that strengthen opportunities for young people. Advocacy Coaches, with lived expertise as Opportunity Youth, are equipping other young people with the skills to build their confidence to become advocates for themselves, their families, and their communities. 

OYI provides a unique, intentional approach to empowering youth through the inclusion of their voices, experiences, and concerns within systems change and policy advocacy efforts. We provide capacity building opportunities for youth-based and -serving organizations in Wisconsin through listening sessions, policy advocacy education, and action.
