Youth MOVE National
From Peer Support to Leadership: An Inclusive National Workforce Initiative
A national, young adult-led initiative expanding inclusive workforce readiness, job placement, and leadership pathways for women ages 18-30 across diverse communities through peer support.
Systems-impacted young adult women, especially trans and non-cisgender women, face systemic barriers to leadership development and advancement across industries, despite deep lived experience and expertise. Youth MOVE National (YMN) will lead a national, young adult-driven leadership and workforce development initiative across 40 young adult, women-led cohorts, focused on peer support training, job placement, and supervisory and leadership skill development. The project will support stable careers, advance leadership pathways, and influence replicable organizational practices nationwide.
