Upstream Academy is a space to protect and uplift young people’s voices while providing real public health experience rooted in their communities. Youth build relationships, represent their peers, and grow as advocates and leaders.
We engage youth ages 14–21 and do not have a graduation date—if youth want to stay involved, we find meaningful opportunities. We also support young adults (21+) who are often left out when they age out of typical youth programming. We don’t require school enrollment—only passion for community.
