A California Where All Youth Thrive
Supporting disconnected, runaway, and homeless youth to transition into successful adulthood.
GET TO KNOW US
The California Youth Coalition centers the diverse needs of youth in all that we do, ensuring that public policies and programs are designed to support disconnected, runaway, and homeless youth.
1
Unvarnished Youth Experiences
Our work is unique because we provide direct services to youth in crises through the California Youth Crisis Line, a 24x7x365 emergency response system. Youth can connect through voice, chat, or text, giving them access to help whenever they need it.
2
Youth-Driven Policy and Advocacy
We ensure that the developmental and social needs of youth drive our policy and advocacy agenda. For decades, state and local governments have underinvested in youth-specific solutions, leaving children and youth with insufficient options. We work with communities to accelerate strategies, programs, and approaches that reflect what youth want and need.

Supporting Youth Programs and Leadership
Using decades of experience in youth development and engagement, we support schools, communities, and government leaders to strengthen and resource youth programs. We share knowledge, skills, and tools to create a positive impact on the lives of young people.
