WE ARE YL

A GLOBAL COMMUNITY FOCUSED ON HIGH IMPACT YOUTH LEADERSHIP

YOUTH-LEADER IS A CHANGEMAKER COMMUNITY WITH A MISSION TO NURTURE YOUTH LEADERSHIP – that is : “youth self-organize high impact projects for people and planet” – EVERYWHERE ON EARTH.

We support youth to change lives, land, learning, laws and industries like today’s hero*ines do, by resourcing them with everything that grand changemakers use and a global community of like-hearted allies.

We help adult allies cultivate Youth Leadership in their schools, cities and regions as a cultural asset and foundation of Able Active Caring Citizenship.

Our values and culture are coined by spirit of partnership, fun, adventure, love and surprise.

We design to enrich users’ and supporters’ daily life with personal and professional benefits.

OUR PROCESS

from inspiration to an enabling environment

TOGETHER,
EMPOWERING A GENERATION 

Young people have shown how to activate an entire school, even 20,000 schools as a single organization. 

Each time, it begins with 1 single person, passionately speaking for a critical cause with exciting action opportunities and felt impact.

This 1 person is a youth, teacher, citizen or parent, a mayor, journalist, athlete. This person can be you.

They acted alone. You are fully equipped with worldclass stories, speakers, coaches, social streams, show, magazine and inspired folks can self-organize countless actions, make news, sending ripple effects through the community, activating an entire city.

You need not even take part. You set the spark.

"The posters were a smash hit with the students."

Peace Day was glorious! You should have been here! The principal decided to set up a long-term exhibit.

Volunteer, India

"The group was lame, until ..."

we used your posters and videos in week 8. Now, they are on fire to create an exhibit and fundraiser at school. Next time I do a training, I use it in week 1 – like you advised.
