The Youth Advocacy & Policy Publication (YAPP) is a youth-led publication network dedicated to promoting youth advocacy, voice, and opinions. This platform provides young people ages 13-18 with a place to share their ideas and policy recommendations, making them accessible to the public. Founded to promote youth voice and address youth exclusion, YAPP is led by youth, for youth, and open to young people worldwide. 

  Young people are often excluded from policy discussions and dismissed because of their age, so this platform provides young people with the opportunity to engage an audience with their policy proposals. YAPP offers free publication for submissions that meet YAPP’s standards and provides free online workshops on advocacy, engagement, and policy writing. The platform also supports young people with policymaker outreach, hosts youth-led interviews, and recognizes outstanding submissions through biannual online showcases.
