We believe we can do better when we work together to:
Advocate
We advocate for informed and targeted investments for youth worldwide. We believe that the international donor community, global businesses, governments and youth must work together to increase investments in programs that support young people. We advocate for youth’s ability to engage in productive livelihoods, become active members of their communities and make responsible decisions for themselves and their families.
Practice
Our members work on the frontlines of youth development. Around the world and across all sectors of international development and humanitarian assistance, our members target youth through interventions focused on health, livelihoods, workforce development, entrepreneurship and financial services, leadership and civic engagement.
Learn
We provide a forum for the youth development community to connect, engage and contribute to new learning on youth policy and practice. The challenges that affect youth have an impact on all of us. Finding solutions demands collaborative thinking and collective action to address the scale of challenges young people face worldwide.
