Policy Changes Lives. Which is why we started MHPP.
The Youth Equity Project is a largely reform-based organization. Advocacy is central to the work we do as an organization, and policy is at the core of enacting true change within the education system. This is why we started MHPP, a constant sub-project to fight for the students and youth who aren’t able to raise their voices.
