About Young Invincibles:

Young Invincibles (“YI”) is a non-profit, non-partisan advocacy organization working to expand economic opportunity for young people ages 18 to 34 and to amplify their voices in the national political conversation and policy arena. Founded by and for young adults in the summer of 2009 during the debate over healthcare reform, YI has quickly grown into a leading voice for young people on the issues of healthcare, higher education, pathways to jobs/workforce, and civic engagement. 

The organization has achieved major successes in areas ranging from regulating college health plans to Pell Grants and has successfully engaged hundreds of thousands of young adults online through a network of over 100 partner organizations.
