About Us

The ACT Youth Network is the place for young people in New York State to have their voices AMPLIFIED and HEARD! With a focus on health and youth leadership in New York State, the ACT Youth Network is a resource that:

• Creates opportunities for youth to be heard by decision makers
• Connects policymakers to young people's ideas and knowledge
• Supports health and leadership among young people
• Links youth to one another to share ideas, challenges, and strategies

The ACT Youth Network NYC is a panel of young adult and teen consultants that meets monthly to provide youth perspectives on health-related media and research projects. Led by Sara Birnel Henderson and Michele Luc of ACT for Youth, meetings are held at the offices of Cornell University Cooperative Extension - New York City.
