These values guide how we engage together across the global network.
.
SENSE OF POSSIBILITY
Our deep belief in the potential of children, communities, and nations. Our optimism about the possibility of empowering this entire generation to bring about unprecedented changes is grounded in the fact that we see these miraculous changes happen through youth leaders, and that we see youth action being embedded in learning culture in more than ten thousand schools. This inspires us to be bold and entrepreneurial in involving people across the societal spectrum to join the greatest endeavour of our time.
.
IN SERVICE TO YOUTH POWER
Youth, teachers, parents, citizens, funders, administration, organizations and media all share responsibility for empowering the change generation. Young people are at the centre, they have to awaken and rise to the challenge, step into their power and unfold their inner hero/ine. All adults have to co-create an enabling environment, act in service to the youth, re-learn to transform their own impact on the world from negative to positive and ultimately find their own role as changemakers.
.
MUTUAL RESPONSIBILITY
In our global network, we are committed to supporting one another’s welfare, development, and success. We help and challenge each other, and we seek answers that make each other stronger. To foster a strong and collaborative global community, we operate with openness, honesty, respect, trust, and generosity.
.
TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE
We seek to build local movements in inter/national collaboration that animate youth leadership at school in ways that are life-changing for children and transforming for communities and nations. Given the magnitude of educational need and to ensure the change we effect is significant and sustainable, we act with high standards and urgency while taking a long-term view.
.
CONSTANT LEARNING
We value the strength and diversity across the network and are committed to learning from each other in pursuit of multiplying our impact. With humility, we take the initiative to understand each other’s experiences and perspectives and to act strategically on the insights we gain.
