Left on Long Island

Altruistic & Effective, Young Leaders for Long Island

Our Purpose

Left on Long Island's primary focus is to bridge the prevalent gap between the younger and older generations in local politics. Young people deserve a seat at the table, and arguments that youth do not want to put in the work to make a change are moot - the reality is that we need the help of our current leader's to open the door and find a space for youth engagement.

Left on Long Island is a left-leaning, non-profit organization, run by and meant for young community members.
