Youth To The People recently collaborated with Brave Trails and the American Civil Liberties Union to introduce a new program focused on empowering and giving back to local communities. The new Community To The People program will focus on providing resources that reduce the effects of social isolation and will feature financial aid initiatives, community events, and advocacy engagement. Brave Trails and the ACLU are perfect partners for this initiative, as both organizations provide year-round programming to build community and foster connections.
"Youth to the People exemplifies how beauty brands can lead with purpose—proving that environmental responsibility, innovation, and style not only coexist, but thrive together," said Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet. "Their unwavering commitment to both people and planet is evident in everything they do, from low-impact packaging to meaningful community engagement. We're proud to welcome them to the 1% for the Planet network and to certify their bold investment in building a better future."
