Dear John,
Join us at the American Youth Policy Forum (AYPF), powered by Children’s Defense Fund, on November 5 and 6 at the Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial Library for two powerful days of youth-driven policy, advocacy, and action.
Initiated in 2023 (as Child Well-Being in America: A National Policy Forum), the event aligns hundreds of child advocates, Congressional and Administration staff, researchers, policymakers, and young people in analysis and strategy. Together we discuss how legislation can better serve young people, especially those marginalized by systemic inequities.
AYPF is seeding a future-facing vision of children’s policy by convening leading voices in philanthropy, the academy, and community to frame the current moment and dream beyond. From interactive conversations with thought leaders to engaging panel discussions, this is more than a forum—it’s a space for transformation for youth advocates, policy leaders, organizers, and educators.
