We're a generation of leaders who look inward towards the community to harness the power within and create solutions. Youth Fund USA operates through three strategic pillars that work together to create sustainable, transformative change for America's youth.

Pillar 1: Economic Mobility

Economic mobility is the foundation of our work. We provide pathways for youth to achieve financial independence through high-value employment, entrepreneurship opportunities, and career development programs. Our focus is on creating sustainable income streams that allow young people to support themselves and their families while building wealth for future generations.

Through strategic partnerships with employers, educational institutions, and community organizations, we connect youth with opportunities that offer not just jobs, but career pathways. We emphasize digital literacy, data-driven problem-solving, and technology-integrated skills that prepare youth for the modern workforce.

Pillar 2: Future Workforce

The Future Workforce pillar focuses on preparing youth for careers in STEM, trades, and other technology-augmented fields. We recognize that the job market is rapidly evolving, and traditional education alone is no longer sufficient. Our programs integrate technology and data skills into every opportunity, ensuring youth are prepared for careers that will exist in the coming decades.

We partner with technical schools, apprenticeship programs, and industry leaders to create pathways into high-growth sectors. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world experience, we ensure youth develop the skills needed to thrive in an increasingly technology-driven economy.

Pillar 3: Justice & Policy

Justice & Policy is where we build power and drive systemic change. Through data analysis from our surveys and community engagement, we identify the most pressing issues facing youth and mobilize advocacy efforts to address them. We train youth organizers and support civic engagement that leads to concrete policy changes.

Our data-driven approach allows us to make evidence-based arguments for increased youth funding in municipal, state, and federal budgets. We work with elected officials, community leaders, and stakeholders to ensure youth voices are heard in policy decisions that directly impact their lives. By building relationships and organizing strategically, we create lasting change at the structural level.

How the Pillars Work Together

These three pillars are interconnected and mutually reinforcing. Economic mobility is supported by future workforce preparation. Justice & policy work ensures resources are allocated equitably. Together, they form a comprehensive approach to youth empowerment that addresses the full spectrum of needs and opportunities.

The creator-powered engine transforms cultural engagement into sustained capital for youth, healthcare, and long-term care systems. By growing Liberty's platform, we grow the resources — and the influence — needed to drive national systems change.

Creators are the new networks. A creator reaching scale becomes a national megaphone with more cultural influence than traditional broadcast channels. This influence drives public will, partnerships, and policy change — making creator platforms a powerful force for public good.
