In one of the fastest rises of a YAL activist in our history, former State Chair and current South Regional Director Trenten Rippy took action upon discovering that students at his local high school were being unfairly charged for parking on campus. The fee applied only to students who drove, excluding parents, staff, and administrators.

Trenten has consistently testified before the school board, organized protests against the unjust fee, and recently conducted flyer drops at every board meeting. His efforts have culminated in pushing the school board to consider a public debate on the parking pass, with a focus on ensuring that all funds from the fees are transparently allocated to the high school.
