Jess Klein used her 2007 Young People For (YP4) fellowship to launch the 1 in 3 Ask Me campaign to raise awareness of sexual assault and violence against women.
Building on this Blueprint for Social Justice, Jess has used the YP4 internship program to work on her project full-time and take the campaign to other campuses in Michigan.
YP4 Toolkits
YP4’s Toolkits are issue-based resource guides that connect local, youth-led programs across the nation in order to share successful models for progressive activism, build stronger networks and connect fellows’ local work to a broader framework.
Toolkits are intended to be dynamic and adaptable documents that will continue to grow.
Each toolkit includes:
- Case studies of Blueprints for Social Justice
- Progressive allies and additional resources
- Conferences, national days of action and scholarships
- Tactics: Sample action items or events
Upcoming Toolkit
The first Toolkit, LGBT Organizing, will be available soon. Stay tuned to the newsletter and the website for updates.
Editorial Board
Toolkits are a collaborative process involving YP4 staff, partner organizations, allies and fellows. Fellows play an active role throughout the process. Fellows particularly active in the toolkit issue areas work as lead organizers to manage and oversee toolkit development with YP4 staff. Fellows with successful Blueprints are solicited to develop a case study out of their work. Experienced partners in the related field are then chosen to write the foreword, addressing the scope of the toolkit, and a brief history of the issue.
