Who We Are

Youth MOVE Pinellas is a youth-driven, chapter-based organization dedicated to improving services and systems that support positive growth and development by uniting the voices of individuals who have lived experience in various systems—including mental health, juvenile justice, education, and child welfare.

What We Do

At Youth MOVE Pinellas, we come together as a diverse collective to amplify the voices of young people and raise awareness about youth issues. Our mission involves advocating for the rights and voices of youth, particularly within the realms of mental health and other systems that impact them. We strive to empower youth, making them equal partners in the transformative process.

Why We Do It

We envision inclusive systems where every young person entering youth-serving systems is equipped for life through meaningful opportunities and genuine youth involvement at all levels. Our role is to steer the redevelopment of systems, ensuring that no youth falls through the cracks. We passionately advocate for youth to harness their power and expertise, fostering positive change in their communities and personal lives.
