Youth Activist Committee (TAYAC)
You can make real, tangible changes to how streets and sidewalks function in New York City.
TAYAC chooses local campaigns and fights for changes on-the-ground in all five boroughs, like safer streets around schools and expanding affordable access to Citi Bike for students.
No experience is necessary to join, all you need is a passion for improving public transit, biking, and walking in the city you love.
