Lincoln


Youth voice is at the center of all Project Everlast efforts. In Lincoln, the Project Everlast Lincoln Youth council learns public speaking skills so they can advocate for system change, speak to senators and other key decision makers, and better themselves through access to education and employment. Youth Council members also serve as a powerful source of peer-to-peer support for one another as they transition to adulthood.
