Advocates for Youth works with thousands of young people in the United States and around the world to advance sexual health, rights, and justice. It envisions a society that values youth, treats sexuality as a healthy part of human development, and normalizes young people's sexual development. The organization supports honest, inclusive sex education and access to confidential, universal sexual health services, empowering young people to exercise bodily autonomy and make informed health decisions.

Based in Washington, D.C., it is a mid-sized nonprofit with a workforce described as several hundred staff. In recent years, it has pursued collaborations to expand education and advocacy, including a 2025 partnership with SisterReach to develop teacher training modules that integrate racial justice into sex education. In 2026, it launched a tool kit and ambassador spotlights ahead of NYHAAD and partnered to offer a free medical education series for health care professionals on PrEP engagement in adolescents.
