National Youth Advocacy Coalition (NYAC)

The National Youth Advocacy Coalition (NYAC) was an organization dedicated to supporting and empowering young people, particularly those in marginalized communities such as LGBTQ+ youth. It worked to promote policies and initiatives that addressed youth-related issues like health, rights, and social justice. NYAC also provided resources, advocacy, and a platform for young people to voice their concerns and influence change. Operative mainly in the 1990s and early 2000s, it played a key role in advancing youth-led activism and ensuring youth perspectives were included in policymaking processes.
