Young Invincibles is a nonprofit committed to creating economic opportunity for young adults ages 18 to 34 and to making sure that their perspectives are heard wherever decisions about our collective future are being made.
Twelve years ago, YI was founded to disrupt an inequitable power dynamic during the federal debate about US health care reform, with a particular emphasis on elevating the voices of young people who did not have a say in the political discourse.
Over time, YI broadened its focus beyond health care to include higher education, workforce and jobs, and civic engagement—issues that drive economic mobility. Today, it’s a leading young adult advocacy org in the US.
The team is currently scouting its next Executive Director who will set the vision and overall strategy for the org. You bring a deep belief in the power of young adults to effect transformational change, demonstrated leadership experience, and a proven commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (among other quals).
What I love
YI was founded by students in 2009 and has expanded from a group run out of a school cafeteria to a national org with offices across the US.
You’ll be designing the org’s next chapter at a transformational moment in its history, leveraging the bold agenda it’s recently announced called Path Forward, 40 policy recommendations created by young people, for young people.
The list of foundations that have supported YI’s expansion to-date is impressive.
There is location flexibility (DC, TX, CA, IL, NY, or CO preferred).
Don’t forget…
You can follow this org, read about its team, and follow the team members whose profiles inspire you - a great way to build your social impact scenius!
