Take your leadership to the next level. All of our programs are championed by young people who want to develop their leadership skills, try new roles, and experience Maven Youth from a whole new perspective. If you've been a part of our camps in the past, you can apply to join a supportive team of your peers as we put on life-changing summer camps for a new generation - from SF to NYC!

Igniting leadership to spark engagement with Queer Youth

Maven Youth is offering amazing leadership roles for passionate youth like YOU! Whether it’s through Camp Leadership or our Staff in Training program, these roles provide incredible opportunities to step into social justice leadership and see what it really means to create change.

Maven Youth has made it our mission to remain an inclusive, diverse, and safe environment for LGBTQIA+ Youth. We will continue to speak out against those who try to take away our rights. As we are engaged in a Four-Year Fight for Queer Youth, we anticipate that all of our programs will naturally be impacted by this shift.
