Amplifying the voices of young adults in the political process and expanding economic opportunity for our generation.
About us
Young Invincibles was founded in the summer of 2009, motivated by the recognition that young people’s voices were not being heard in the debate over health care reform. Co-Founders Ari Matusiak and Aaron Smith and a few friends wanted to change that, so they set up a one page website, asking young people to share their stories, believing in their generation’s capacity to stand up and make itself heard. In a little more than a year, ‘YI’ went from a group run out of a law school cafeteria to a national organization, representing the interests of 18 to 34 year-olds and making sure that our perspective is heard wherever decisions about our collective future are being made. We do this through conducting cutting-edge policy research and analysis, sharing the stories of young Americans, designing campaigns to educate on important issue areas, informing and mobilizing our generation and advocating to change the status quo. We still believe in our generation – now more than ever. We know that our generation will define the future we share as a nation. These are difficult times. But this is also our time. Why don’t you join us today?

Big news for SUNY students! Read more about the historic increase in funding from our Northeast Regional Director, Sean Henry Miller.
Tackling healthcare challenges now & in the future! Today, Governor Hochul announced $8 million in recurring annual funding for SUNY's community colleges. The funding will support healthcare workforce programs & expand mental health support for students.🙌 Governor Hochul said, "This investment in our community colleges is another massive step to building the best public education institution in the country, meeting the needs of our students to succeed in high-demand jobs across our state. Leading in health care is critical for New Yorkers, and this funding is setting up more students to succeed with strong academic programs and resources for their own mental health and wellbeing." Chancellor King added, "Increased state investment in SUNY’s community colleges will prepare students for high-demand health care careers – helping to fill a critical shortage – and expand mental health services to increase student well-being and success. I extend my appreciation to Governor Hochul and the State Legislature for their continued investment in the success of SUNY and the students we serve, and ultimately the success of our entire state."

"BIPOC therapists save lives and provide a voice for those who are constantly told no one is listening. Where were you when you felt heard for the first time? For many of our clients, but especially our non-white clients, it is therapy. Being treated as a human is not a privilege but a right, so why are we treating it like a luxury?" Beka is a 31-year-old Mexican-American child/adolescent licensed professional counselor in the state of Illinois. She currently works as a therapist at a BIPOC-owned private practice in the suburbs of Chicago geared toward serving marginalized and underserved populations.
