Young People for Progress

Empowering Young Voices for Change

Founded in 2019, Young People for Progress (YPP) is a dynamic community organizing and social justice organization based in Montgomery County, Maryland. Committed to empowering youth and young adults under 35, YPP engages in impactful issue campaigns and voter education initiatives. The organization has successfully advocated for youth representation on the Montgomery County Policing Advisory Commission, ensuring that young voices are heard in critical discussions about policing and community safety.

Making a Lasting Impact

YPP has made significant strides in advocating for police reform and providing essential resources to the community. Through initiatives like the Police Incident Documentation Project (PIDP), YPP collects civilian accounts of police incidents and connects individuals to pro bono legal advice. Additionally, the organization conducts ‘know your rights’ trainings and restorative justice workshops, equipping young people with the knowledge and skills to navigate complex legal landscapes.
