CYI is a youth-run organization that works to build a legacy of young leaders by strengthening awareness of community issues through workshops and project initiatives.

These workshops, typically run by college students, aim to facilitate identity and leadership development, as well as to enhance awareness of issues affecting underrepresented communities.
