YOUTHINK is a youth-driven organization that creates positive change in
Portland, Maine by empowering young people to speak and act on issues that affect their lives.
YOUTHINK is currently working on a youth rights campaign, planning a summit of Portland youth to create an agenda of common priority issues, conducting trainings for the Portland Youth Advisory Council, and working with local high schools to create a service-learning elective course.
