Our Adult Volunteers are ordinary caring citizens from college students to home staying mums and high paying professionals. What unites them is their passion for positive change, and with YL they find a unique trove of opportunity to live them, with agency, liberties, satisfaction, responsibility, friends and rich experience:

Our digital and print media, packages for presentations, exhibits and workshops give volunteers a wide scope of options for informal and formal online and onsite activities – on youth leadership and their favorite causes – easily reaching hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands via local news media. Those presenting at schools have opportunity for exciting engagement in their community, supporting inspired teams, mentoring, networking with local partners – a very enriching experience for citizens wishing to make positive changes for youth, society, and build positive, like-hearted community in their region.

Personal initiative is a signature quality of our volunteer engagement creating a grand win-win-win: Volunteers unfold their passion, skill and path, reaching thousands in their communities, we have able, dynamic members, and the planet is blessed with some awesome new changemakers.

Further, the year-round stream of solution stories, news, activities and skype sessions provides learning on-the-go, enriching daily life, the workplace, seeding our media to cafes, canteens, waiting rooms and newsletters, inspiring employees and members, organizing exhibits, fundraisers, Philanthro-Parties, adopting local schools, rewarding and mentoring inspired youth teams.

Our volunteer team members benefit personally, also for their families and work, others for their academic and professional careers, some even for making a living.

It is not enough that we have a few empathic youth, sitting or acting in isolation and being shamed as eco sluts at school. It is in acceptable that our young social entrepreneurs and cultural creatives naturally inclined to commit their lives to healing people and planet are told to care but to sit still until later, only to be told the same by academia and employers. It is inacceptable that they and our society lose out on the vast impact that they can evoke as teenage changemakers, like their globally acclaimed peers. All is good now – we can change it.

Schools are ready, the purpose of schooling, curricula, good learning culture, impact studies, teachers, parents and students all favor student-powered project-oriented learning on global issues – for personal development, life skills, healthy community and more

Our tools and actions are open to all people taking The Pledge for People and Planet, and act on their favorite causes, as YL Team, group of friends, student club or other – as fits their lifestyle.

Then there are those with a priority vision for positive change, tuned to act full-time, like a sports team: following a meaningful guiding set actions, training and performing at their growth edges for maximum impact for world change. This commitment naturally bears higher outcomes for themselves, people and planet.
