Youth United for Change (YUC) is dedicated to developing young leaders in Philadelphia and providing them with training and tools to improve the quality of their education and communities.

Y.U.C. believes that every young person has a right to a quality public education that prepares them for a variety of options upon graduation including college, further training, or obtaining a decent-paying job.

Y.U.C. has won several organizing campaigns in the past to improve the college-going climate at local Philadelphia public schools including the opening of a College and Career Center at Olney High School in March 2001 and the elimination of General Math and General Science (non-college preparatory courses) at Kensington High School in 1997.
