Take high impact starter actions
Exhibit and Crash Course offer immediate action opportunities. They are popular, build team, make impact, generate presence at school and in media; for max impact take the Crash Course with HISAs in Phase 5; however, don’t hesitate to take quick actions now. Swift & simple & fun & exciting!
Form a Team
You can act alone – but for more fun, talent, relations, reach and impact, the goal should be to get friends on board – and peers in the near future as you get active. Start with best buddies. Being yourself is key to success #1!
for all personality types
Silent or loud, shy or flamboyant – this is for everybody! Have a look around YL hero*ines, view their stories, faces and videos – you will see all types and they all move mountains!
Warrior, healer, planter, wonder, builder, siren, party wizard, artist, animal angel, storyteller, adventurer, secret agent
– COME ABOARD!
To imagine your life as a changemaker, check these 3 forms of teams. They differ in pace and intensity.
Which one fits you best?
Friends Crew
CASUAL.
Take action on favorite causes.
Student Club
REGULARLY.
Unite fired up students across classes and years for plenty of year-round action involving the entire school community.
Warrior Clan
FULL-TIME.
Commit to 3 monthly missions. Make changemaking your sport like an athlete, in 24/7 cooperation with today’s Gandhis and Gryffindores.
Live Changemaking as your Sport.
We suggest that you view doing good for people and planet like a sport. You play it occasionally or full-on – aligned with your passion and lifestyle.
IMAGINE 1,000s of crews, clubs and clans wielding 400+ high impact solutions. With YL Clubs and Clans at all schools, the future will be fine. Is that reason enough to play this sport in ways you enjoy?
The big Advantages
Look, we have a planet to save! And our dreams for life.
An x-mas cookie sale doesn’t cut it, and we must sustain momentum, also on rainy days, during test periods and when we have new crush. We all know a model that does this; Sports Clubs keep us going with weekly training, learning new moves, teaming up to go beyond limits, weekly boss battles, celebration, coaches.
It need not be a closed, formal club. It can be open, non-formal like with skateboarding, learning inspired from pro’s on youtube. That’s precisely what we do! We connect you with today’s greatest changemakers to join, boost and wield their solutions in your home region, also together with them!
Plus, by living it as Student Club at school, sporting YL’s UNESCO and UN University status, we can align it with education, collab with teachers, unite students across years in huge Changemaker Student Clubs and organize year-round fireworks of action involving the whole school community – so our entire generation grows up with today’s Gandhis and Gryffindores. THAT is impact. THAT is change.
So stop being boring, go worlds beyond protesting and waiting for national dirty industry dependent government to pay someone to fix things, and start being awesome #fulltimeforfuture. Wham!
