The DYSC (Diverse Youth for Social Change) program works with youth who are in the age range of 13-22 in an effort to facilitate the access to the tools that will increase their capacity to improve the quality of their personal, home, school and community lives. We do this work through a holistic combination of leadership development, the development of an anti-oppression analysis, the development of organizing, activism and advocacy skills and cultural work.
