Youth Organizing is a podcast series highlighting youth organizer's journey and advice on how to start to create efforts. Through each episode, the discussion will revolve around the following questions: Who is a youth organizer? How can youth organizing be supported? Why is organizing important? My hope for this podcast is to inspire youth to initiate their own form of organizing in their own communities.

Episode 1: Interview w/ Isaac Izaguirre discussing what characteristics should youth organizers have, experiences as a student of color in a predominantly white institution, and how institutions can play an active role to be more inclusive of their diverse population of students.
