California Youth Connection (CYC) is a youth-led organization based in Sacramento, CA, dedicated to empowering young people in the foster care and juvenile justice systems. Through legislative, policy, and practice change, CYC aims to transform the foster care system and ensure that all foster youth have their needs met and the support to thrive into adulthood.
With a focus on developing leaders and creating equal partnerships, CYC provides youth members between the ages of 14-24 with opportunities to engage in community advocacy, participate in member-led campaigns, and contribute to statewide policy and legislative change. Additionally, CYC offers youth-centered trainings for child welfare professionals and fosters a unique youth-adult partnership to mobilize system-impacted young people and adult supporters in creating systems change.
