YOUNG ORGANIZERS UNITED (Y.O.U.)
Who are Y.O.U.?
Young Organizers United (YOU) is a group of high school aged youth representing all four high schools in Manchester who learn the steps of the community organizing cycle and become civically engaged. YOU members learn about and from local elected officials including members of School Board, Board of Alderman, and the Mayor’s Office.
YOU finished 2023 strong and entered 2024 to finish the fourth part of the community organizing cycle. Evaluate and Celebrate!
We are happy to announce the success of our campaign to have an African American studies class added to the High School curriculum in Manchester.
We want to Thank All of You for your support and encouragement.
