The Boston Youth Organizing Project (BYOP) is a nonprofit organization in Boston, MA that empowers youth between the ages of 12 and 18 to lead campaigns for social causes. Elected by their peers, members organize projects focused on issues relevant to young people, with recent successes including extending curfew hours for MBTA student passes and advocating for public transportation improvements.
BYOP collaborates with organizations like Alliance for Educational Justice and Save Our Schools to increase public funding for education and is currently working on establishing a scholarship program for its members. Projects are adult-supported but entirely driven by young elected members, with a goal of creating positive change in the community through youth-led initiatives.
