Empower Youth...
Advance Human Rights...
Create a More Just World!
 

Our vision is big because the problems we face in the world are complex, interconnected and urgent.  Our solution to creating change is clear, innovative, and bold.  But it also requires significant financial resources. 

We invite you to make an investment in our vision.  If you haven't already read through the inspiring stories on our website, we urge you to do so.  We have no doubt that once you learn about the impact of our programs, you will be inspired to help!

$5 = 1 activism toolkit for 1 young person
$35 = 1 hour of skill-building training for 30 youth
$100 = 3 months of mentoring for 1 young person
$150 = 1 Day Orientation session for Rwandan participants

$250 = 1 day of leadership training for 30 youth
$1,250 = 1 week of human rights training for 30 youth

Our work enables young people to take action in their own communities and globally.  As a result, you are also helping to improve a significant number of people's lives around the world.  For example, one young NGO leader we worked with in Nepal passed along what he learned about human rights to almost 25,000 youth living in some of the poorest, most marginalized communities in western Nepal, an area also hard hit by a recent civil war.
