California Youth Crisis Line

The California Youth Crisis Line (CYCL) operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as the statewide emergency response system for youth (ages 12-24) and families in crisis. Professionally trained staff and volunteer counselors respond to more than 20,000 calls annually with crisis intervention counseling and resource referrals to service providers in the caller’s local community.

Taking Action Conference

Our annual Taking Action Conference provides youth and youth advocates with the education, strategy and empowerment they need to create change in their communities and improve the lives of California’s youth. The Taking Action Conference puts participants in the center of legislative activity at the State Capitol where they share their ideas, energy and experiences with each other, as well as gain the opportunity to speak directly to speak directly to elected officials about policy changes needed to better support our youth. Find out more about our upcoming program and how to participate here!

Members-Only Conference Calls

As part of our enhanced new member benefits package, we are launching a members-only educational conference call/webinar series. Calls are scheduled for the second Thursday of every month from 10:00a – 11:30a beginning in October. The series will offer CCY members an opportunity to hear directly from our lobbyist and staff about critical youth-focused legislation, policy issues, what CCY is doing about them, and how you can get involved!

Only members in good standing are invited to join. Learn more about membership with CCY and join us today!
