Why are we here?

We believe in a world where young people are central to solution building, policy-making and lasting change. Why? Our generation has inherited enormous global challenges, but by amplifying the voice of young people and self-organizing for impact, we believe that we can overcome inter-generational inequity and shape a better future for all

We make progress happen by empowering young leaders and building strong teams that are then capable of creating positive change in their communities and the world.
