The California Youth Empowerment Network ~ CAYEN ~
The California Youth Empowerment Network (CAYEN) was formed in 2006 to develop, educate, and strengthen the voices of Transition Age Youth (TAY; youth ages 15-26)
to shape local and statewide public policy.
We believe that TAY’s lived experiences and expertise as youth and young adults give them a credible, passionate and true voice to the challenges and successes of the TAY population. CAYEN equips TAY with support, training, and skills to bring their voices to policy and program discussions. CAYEN is a youth-led program of Mental Health America of California (MHAC).
