Youth

Movement

Mapping Project

 

Intro

Around the world there are hundreds and thousands of youth-serving organizations. For more than 50 years there have been a number of attempts to weave together these diverse programs under one common plan of action. Those efforts have repeatedly failed. However, the Internet has brought the youth community closer than ever, showing more potential than any other medium before.

 

Following are several categories of action in the international youth movement. This movement, which is leaderless and diverse, is complex. It is obvious to say that young people everywhere are complex with broad needs and interests, and that young people everywhere are responding to their situations uniquely.

 

This page represents our first deliberate effort to paint a clear picture of the diaspora of activity under the common umbrella of connecting young people and social change.
