youth organizing
SWOP is committed to providing
leadership development to young people with opportunities and access to resources
we need to think for ourselves and analyze our surroundings, to have a voice
in decisions that affect our lives, and to build power in our communities
.
Our website is created by and for young people to voice our opinions and document our accomplishments in the movement to 'empower our communities and realize racial and gender equality and social and economic justice.'

Too often, young people are unjustly vilified in the media and at the water cooler as criminals and superpredators. The website is designed for young people to stand up and say enough is enough. YA BASTA!
