This is closely akin to the notion of evolving capacities within the children's rights movement, but the youth rights movement differs from the children's rights movement in that the latter places emphasis on the welfare and protection of children through the actions and decisions of adults, while the youth rights movement seeks to grant youth the liberty to make their own decisions autonomously in the ways adults are permitted to, or to lower the legal minimum ages at which such rights are acquired, such as the age of majority and the voting age.

The Jimmy Raye Youth Foundation was started by coach Jimmy Raye II with his late friend Ronald "Chase" Chalmers as a means of benefiting underprivileged children in the Cumberland County area of North Carolina. Seven years ago, Raye and Chalmers joined their efforts to create the foundation which provides college scholarships to local students, as well as registration fees for recreational sports. Each year, a luncheon is held to raise funds for the foundation and allow the local community to meet current and former NFL stars. At the conclusion of the luncheon, a free football clinic is held for the attending children and is directed by Raye as well as the attending past and present NFL players. Raye is hoping that the foundation will soon be able to provide a full college scholarship in memory of his late friend Ronald Chalmers. The criteria for selecting a scholar recipient is chosen by Chalmer's three children. While the scholarship is intended to provide an opportunity for a young person to attend college, academic performance and integrity are highly important which is evident as the foundation tries to enhance the success of adolescents in the Fayetteville, NC community.
