Community Youth Engagement

Engaging young people in social change is the only collective hope we can have for transforming the way people feel about their communities.

People of all ages are concerned about engaging young people in social change today. A growing number of organizations and communities are aiming to promote engaging young people in social chagne through a programs, policies and special initiatives. There are literally thousands of different ways social change happens with young people - and the Freechild website scans hundreds of them, sharing examples and resources from around the world.
