Mission

Young Invincibles' mission is to amplify the voices of young adults in the political process and expand economic opportunity for our generation.

  • Our Higher Education program addresses major challenges such as affordability, access, completion, and student loan repayment.

We do this through a variety of outreach channels, including community workshops on health coverage, training partner organizations on how to reach young adults, providing online information through our website and social media, and developing innovative digital applications to help consumers make health care choices.In addition to our outreach program, we also engage in policy research, develop policy solutions that increase access to quality coverage, educate the public about these solutions, and advocate for reforms.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
