WHAT THE YOUTH FELLOWS have to say
“No matter what age, young people are the mainstay of shouldering social responsibilities and promoting social development. Participating in the Youth Fellows community provides us, the younger generation, an opportunity to have our voice heard, and thus, make some changes.”
“This is a community of inspiring people all across the world. Everyone has a unique background, a unique skill to share and a willingness to learn from one another. This makes it the perfect place to showcase your work and talent and at the same time receiving support from others.”
“People should join the amazing community to be INSPIRED. I have encountered so many activists from around the world who work to create the most innovative, impactful solutions that I would have never thought of. I am thankful for this community for giving me the opportunity to collaborate with incredible, diligent people and to learn from them.”
“The Youth Fellows community is hands down one of the best young-people safe spaces you will ever find. There is no judgment here, there is no fear here and best of all, you get motivated to hack all the projects!”
Youth-focused, Youth-led!
Every July, 18 youth fellows are selected to form the Youth Council which coordinates this growing community of game-changers.
The Youth Council supports and leads the community through dedicated working groups on Communications, Rights and Inclusion, Learning and Development, and being a Learning Planetizen.
