is a network of youth groups in San Francisco dedicated to creating positive change in their communities. Each group in the network will have a LYV youth representative. LYV is a youth networking opportunity for groups to:

• Spread the word about topics of concern
• Promote events or projects
• Learn about what other groups are doing
• Get support for community change projects through mini-grants, networking with a broad coalition of youth groups, and workshops to build leadership skills and abilities.

LYV will also plan city-wide events, participate in a state-wide teen conference, and visit one anotherÕs program sites so that we may better know about, support, and understand the exciting work of young people in our city.
