Our Mission
Bay Area Youth for Justice is a community youth organization dedicated to speaking up against the injustices in our world today. We seek to give the youth a platform to start movements of change or get involved in current projects. We want to put emphasis on allowing youth to express themselves and write about the things they care about because we believe it is important for everyone to have a voice, and not be constricted to the use of social media.
