"Equipping youth with the tools they need to create positive change with their peers, families, community, and the world."
Young Governors was founded by Delia Kim Sorto in 2011 and was based in Elmhurst & Corona in Queens.
Our youth-led organization integrates extensive and intensive community needs assessments, teamwork, and meaningful public discourse. We aim to cultivate a body of informed and empowered young leaders cognizant of their agency and responsibility as change-makers of the present and the future.

"Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is a matter of will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over love of ease."
— Samuel Ullman
