The ones that matter most are the children. – Lakota proverb
50% of global adults would like to give back to their school – that is, to the lovely students and teachers, and help them make school awesome and realize their dreams.
But how, how make it simple, compelling and uplifting, also for the giftmaker?
With YL, all adults can provide them opportunities to better the world, their lives, discover their community, their region, make magical experiences, and develop ace skills and relations of lifelong value.
WHO IS AN ADULT ALLY ?
Making an impact isn’t about one person taking one big action, it’s about a community of like-hearted people coming together and taking small actions every day.
Adult Allies feel love for teen hero*ines and live this love in action online and locally. YL Coaches are passionate citizens who want to represent YOUTH-LEADER – and aren’t afraid to speak their heart to make an impact at work, at home, at school, or with councillors and partners. Together, we are building a vibrant tribe of youth leaders who are doing their part, one step at a time.
You enjoy connecting with people in your local community (and around the world!) to share solutions, motivation and exciting opportunities.
You are interested in using your unique skills, interests and relations to drive action and create change in your community.
You love spending time with youth and feel passionate about doing what you can to help them turn their love for people and planet into action.

As a youth-run organization, our ambitions are not always taken seriously. Our actions are often dismissed as symbolic gestures. But children and young people are capable of accomplishing enormous tangible good! We can have a profound impact on our local, national and global communities. LemonAID Warriors works to give young people tools and support to carry out these aspirations. But ideally, our schools and our entire society would also be on board.
