The Raven Corps is a youth-powered movement and nonprofit based out of Portland, Oregon in the US. It supports, empowers and mobilizes a growing community of young antioppression activists and changemakers (Ravens) aged 15-22 who promote liberation, justice, and sustainability through advocacy projects known as ‘operations. The vegan organization was co-founded by Claire Howe, who serves as its executive director and is named after the species of bird that is resourceful but often goes unappreciated in society – much like young people. There are several ‘Corps’ that focus on a specific area and these are organized and run by a Lead Raven who determines and guides their Corps’ focus and actions.

Young adults are not too young, to get involved. Read about these inspiring kids changing the world.
