Advocacy
We work directly with our members to protect and enhance the quality of life, services and opportunities for California’s disconnected and disadvantaged youth. CCY provides members with several opportunities to connect directly with elected officials and help influence positive policy developments. Each year members are invited to join CCY staff and lobbyists at hearings, legislative meetings and other forums to help educate policymakers on critical issues and legislation that impact the well-being California’s youth.
