The National Youth Rights Association (NYRA) was founded in 1998 by the original founders of ASFAR because of the desire to create a moderate, pragmatic organization in the Youth Rights Movement. NYRA is led by Alex Koroknay-Palicz and its significant accomplishments to date include several appearances on CNN, increased awareness of Youth Rights among the youth service field, and its campaign to lower the voting age in Takoma Park, Maryland.
