The Global Institute for Youth is a non-profit, youth-led and globally run Institute focusing on youth advocacy and leadership development.
Who we are
Created by young people, the Global Institute for Youth is a non-profit, youth-led and globally run Institute focusing on youth advocacy and leadership development. We advocates and educates young people to become active leaders in their countries and communities.
We believe that solutions to our global challenges must purposefully engage youth, at all levels -- locally, regionally, nationally and globally. We are committed to enabling young people to make positive social changes. This generation has the passion, dynamism and leadership spirit to shape the future.
Young people are affected by the world’s greatest persistent problems: poverty, conflict, education, and health. Although young people are the demographic most affected by these problems, and although they are the future leaders of the world, they are too frequently overlooked as part of the solution. We believe that young people should be part of the solution and that they should be the ones addressing these issues.
Our programs focus on educating young people about global issues, enabling them with the skills they need in order to lead a positive change in their communities and globally, and advocating for the young voice in decision making.
Vision
The vision of the Global Institute for Youth is to enable and encourage the next generation of young leaders around the world to take a lead in making a positive change in their communities and globally.
Mission:
Our mission is to provide the tools for young people to lead a positive change in their communities and countries.
Goals
We advocate for young people to be included in the decision-making processes that directly affects their lives, communities and countries. We want to ensure that policy makers on national and global levels recognize, encourage, and support the active roles of young people in decision-making.
We educate young people on current global issues, as well as build their leadership capabilities, so that they are able to take action in finding solutions to community and global problems.
Who We Serve
We serve the global youth, between the ages of 15 and 30 years old.
Why we serve?
We believe that young people are the future leaders and key players in the development of their countries. We are passionate about giving the youth the right tools and skills to help them take the lead in finding solutions to the problems
It is vitally important that we raise £1,000 as it will ensure that we are able to register in the United States and in Rwanda. With legal statute we would be able to apply for funds and grants for our programs.
