Thank you for your interest in the Youth Champion Community (YCC) initiative!
The National Youth Employment Coalition (NYEC) is building a network of communities committed to strengthening cross-system coordination and expanding pathways to economic mobility for young people.
This form is designed to capture early interest and help NYEC identify communities that may be a strong fit. Submitting this form is not a commitment to participate — it simply ensures your community stays informed and receives updates as the application process opens.
In May 2026, NYEC will open a formal application process for communities ready to join the next YCC cohort.
