YFEN is a coalition of teens and adults committed to defending the free expression rights of youth. The YFEN Speaker’s Bureau is a network of youth speakers from around the country who participate in panels at national conferences and run free expression workshops in their local communities. By voicing the youth perspective, Speakers aim to educate the public that censorial measures enacted in the presumed interest of “protecting” youth often not only prevent minors from learning, thinking and exploring; they deprive them of critical information on subjects ranging from human rights and feminism to drugs and safer sex.
