Young Leaders in Action produce short film!

The Leaders of Now is a short film that was created by the participants of WorldOregon’s Young Leaders in Action (YLA) program during the 2023–2024 program year. The students created this inspiring short film and activity meant to inspire all youth to recognize their own leadership capacity by highlighting young activists who have been at the forefront of social change in Portland and across the world.

 About Young Leaders in Action (YLA)
 YLA brings together high school students to develop leadership skills, gain a global perspective on local justice issues, and learn about skills and strategies of past, present, local, and global youth activists. Each year, YLA students create an Action Project about social justice issues such as climate refugees, systemic racism, gender equity, and gun violence.
