A GAME CHANGER FOR SOCIETY. YOUR KIND OF THINKING IS VERY RARE. WE NEED THIS IN ALL OF CANADA’S SCHOOLS. YL HELPS US LEVERAGE IT FOR THE GOOD OF OUR SOCIETY AND PLANET.

Worldclass voices in every domain – politics, law, civil society, science, youth, education, higher education, workforce development – elevate YL’s value for BIG TIME positive societal change. Look at this with attention, note YOUR ROLE in it, your benefits, and step ahead to seize them. 

” The epitome of youth leadership. ” – Ken Jones, wildlife educator legend, USA

” A blessing for parents and children. ” – Robin Grille, parenting author, Australia

” Your kind of thinking is very rare. ” Polly Higgins, Ecocide is a Crime Campaign, Britain

” This is precisely what we need for Tunisia.” – Judge Mokhtar Yahyaoui, Tunisia

” YL helps us leverage youth leadership for the benefit of our societies and planet. ” – Mara Huber Ph.D, Experiential Learning Network, University of Buffalo

” We need YL at all of our schools. ” – Emma Mogus, World’s Children’s Prize MC, Canada

“The solutions exist, even the support networks are in place. What’s needed now is the demand. The problem is, the people don’t know, even governments don’t.” – Ashoka CEO, reworktheworld, Taellberg Forum 2010.

Everybody loves teen hero:ines and agrees that there is need for more of it in the young generation, but people fail to see that in Canada, it is already a masse phenomenon, and it is to get ignited and amplified all over Earth, at record pace nd scale. The problem is, people don’t know, and stakeholders, from citizens to teachers and mayors and sponsors think it is not their job, or feel inscure about their role and ways to involve. Hence, our mastery art is to show them how it is perfectly aligned with their job description, their needs, their aspirations and goals and purpose. 

We need them to rock at speed and scale to inform local youth and activate the supportive frame of stakeholders and rapidly respond to local teen crews’ demands for support, permission to act in public spaces, to team up and rock together.

“Behavior change is not a matter of science, but of culture, and us scientists do not know how to do this.” some big hat at IPCC. We at YL do! The cultural asset of youth leadership is THE cultural asset for nurturing able active caring citizens, governors, social entrepreneurs and cultural creatives at grand scale, en masse.

Our civilzation al shift requires multiplex transformation, especially in he way of citizens, lifestyle, coimmitment, solutionary genius, living together and governance. Our MODEL with high impact youth leadership simultaneously win-win benefitting elevating every involved stakeholder sector adds remarkable value! 

Our nifty MODEL provides the “mechanics” for every citizen, stakeholder and sector to make swift lightweight connections as add-on integrated in what they do anyway, and more importantly, what they wish to achieve and fail to achieve yet, because they don’t know how, and lack partners, media, methods and – most importantly – the young generation is NOT repsonding or caring. This we solve and equip everyone to do so. 

YL provides everything required to activate inner motivation among kids age 8 to 18, in diversity appealing to 90% of youth, fully aligned with their needs for daily life at school, and professional formations ahead, qualifications, vetting, competences, recognition, networks. pipelines, Once youth rise as teen hero:ine self, everything changes, for adults in all sectors! massive new possibilities arise.

On this page we highlight how OUR MODEL elevates roles, resoures and powers of diverse sectors and clietsn that YOU identify with, such as education, peace in town, active citizenry, professional competences, SDG cooperation, Pan-European identity, global development funding, migration harmonization and more … but you have ignored the powerful contribution in impact and crowd/funding, training, capacity and community building that active children and teenagers can generate. LEt us remind you:

Namaste Nepal student club generates $40,000€ annually for robust holistic village development in Nepal AND engages a large part of their town’s 30,000 inhabitants in the year’s most popular highlight event, an epic 48 hour day and night spnjsor run Philanthro-Party. Imagine that your town had such a student club. Imapgine that each town had. Imagine that each school engaged in such. Imagine the collective impact on development funds, professional experiences, global hirozins, friendly bonds and collaboration on Earth.

And this is just 1 simple classic activity of over 400 missions and grand innovation programs in YL. Well, then, get started! Obviously, this is needed and wanted everywhere. With changemaker stduent clubs at every school, the future will be fine. So, here is your obligation:and no brainer next benachmark for YOU: Team uo ith us to make that happen at every school in your sphere of influence.

View how OUR MODEL helps make it easy and sustain and grow the FABRIC of collaboration so it doesn’t just help villages in crisis regions, but ELEVATES YOUR REGION at similar dramatic degree for better learning culture, better ecosystem strength, better reslience, better prosperity, better international conenction.  

This page is particiulary important for people with BIG CPITRUE VIEW and INCLFUENCE in DECISION-MAKING in GOVERNANCE, in PUBLIC INSTITUTUONS like schools and public libraries, communyty centres and youth work, also for INDUSTRIES from media to manufacturing, for wealth hodlers, celebtities, star athletes and FUNDERS  so you can assess the extraordinary multipley eipple effects value for society and your aspirations and INVEST, since moderate investment is needed with high ROI at global, national, regional or local level as fits your case.

 

 

We all want to see teen hero:ines and changemaker student clubs en masse, going beyond charitable service learning to include social enterprise and collaboration with grand changemakers (“today’s Einsteins, Gandhis and Gryffindores”) to boost and replicate their high impact innovations in their home regions. This exciting phenomenon already thrives at thousands of schools across North America, a result of 50 years of youth leadership – “enabling kids and teens to realize projects changing lives, land, learning, laws and industries” – in civic education. It is precisely what the world needs, what everybody loves and what YOU have to help make happen in your home region at record pace and scale. To make it easy and fun, we bundle global best practices around a simple method and provide tools, trainings and platforms for everybody to get started and scale rapidly.

We enable everybody with a Heart for youth, their home region and planet to get involved, and wield their superpowers. We see every contributing person as family and in need of support to raise their spirit, hopes, skills, and smart ways to include changemaking in their busy, complex, daily family and work lives – and therefore charge YL with many high quality benefits to re-paradize not only the planet, but also their communities and their lives. We seek to enable people to live their dreams and experience magic that money cannot buy

We put special focus on schools – all young people’s daily hangout for ten years – with official purpose to nurture able, active, caring citizens, with civic and professional competences, best through Experiential Learning in youth-led projects with relevance for real lives and land. For this, we provide youth and teachers with “role models, classics and outer school partners” like in music and sports education, as well as PEARL standard badges to align with needs of teachers and stduents for future learning and professional journeys. This enables self-organization in class and clubs, but also beyond school fence, hours and years

We enable people to live changemaking as “sport” – to help people understand that everybody can easily engage with joy, in their favorite roles as fan, amateur, fulltime high performance athlete, or coach, solo or team, at their choice of pace and goals, using basic rules, balls (projects), prizes (badges, hall of fame), community, coaches and an ecosystem of partners to act and improvize and localize activities. YL provides services similar to a sports “federation”

We strongly include municipality and the corporate sector who no longer say “we have no time for kids, people and planet, we need to priorize the economy”, since both sectors realize they need solid nature, social peace, mental health and true genius to continue to function. They wish for strong civic and professional skills, experiences and competences in citizenry, youth, workforce and leadership – best nurtured through high quality Experiential Learning (EL) on real world projects adding value to the world with diverse partners, generating dynamic PEARL Badges of high value for CVs and employers

Our work re-activates “civic infrastructure” like schools, public libraries, sister city programs and more, as well as pertaining resources and capacities dedicated to serve “families, youth, education, citizens, peace, sustainability, SDGs, higher education, culture, environment etc.”. Our holistic approach activates an even more complex “civic organic architecture” that transforms “civic deserts” into more than conventional “opinion building and voting” (“greenery” leaving people hungry for relevant and tangible changes), into thriving “civic paradises” with humans shaping lives, land, and public spaces, felt in body, heart and soul, building trust in oneself, neighbors and collective human capacity to overcome crises.

The KEY is to create an ENABLING ENVIRONMENT for youth to self-organize high impact projects. This requires far more than what common cities, schools and civic organizations offer, yet each element’s function and use is common sense and simple. YL provides everything for anyone, from solo kids to entire states
