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.
