Imogen Gannon
Imogen attended a Sudbury school known as The Clearwater School for 7 years, then transitioned to unschooling at age twelve. Thus she has been exposed to youth rights from a very young age. Though she has always believed in youth rights, more recent frustrations at the rise in ageism in communities she’s a part of motivated her to become a more vocal advocate for youth. She hopes for the mainstreaming of youth rights, and how that interacts with race/LGBTQ+/neurodiversity/class/etc.
Imogen was elected to the NYRA Board of Directors in June 2025 and currently works on the Communications Team and Action Team

Building the Future Through Youth Rights
By: Out of Line
Episode Description: Annie Friday is joined by team members from the National Youth Rights Association who are working hard to raise awareness about the importance of youth rights. Youth seem to be one group still very much systemically and structurally kept from their own human rights with very few adults even recognizing the importance of youth rights. Child abuse – mental, emotional, physical, or financial – and negative attitudes toward children both occur at extreme rates in part because this group is not well protected by current US law. Schools are often seen as a stopgap or screening tool for abuse, but that can’t help when the abuse is happening institutionally. Listen in as Zane, Eric, Imogen, and Susan share more about this critical work of advocacy, awareness, and change.
