We Youth Spirit Embodying Resistance (W.Y.S.P.E.R)

WYSPER is a leadership development training for youth leaders (ages 14–19) and the adults who support them. Rooted in identity, movement history, and real-world organizing skills, WYSPER moves through five phases: personal reflection, political education, core organizing skills, action planning, and implementation. Delivered as a 6-day intensive or 6-week series, WYSPER partners with local youth organizations who send small cohorts to train together. Youth leave with campaign-ready plans, organizations gain stronger leadership pipelines, and movements benefit from intergenerational connections grounded in resistance, care, and strategy.
