National Youth Rights Association

The National Youth Rights Association (NYRA) is an organization that advocates for the rights and freedoms of young people, particularly those aged 12 to 24. Founded in the early 2000s, it aims to challenge laws and societal norms that unfairly restrict youth, such as voting age, curfews, and educational policies. NYRA promotes the idea that young people should have a voice in decisions that affect their lives and emphasizes their capacity for responsibility. Through activism, education, and outreach, the organization seeks to empower youth and ensure their rights are recognized and upheld in society.
