Join Forces: Explore Partnership Opportunities

Youth voice matters, it is highly important in democracy, it matters in continuing to build coherent and fair societies, it matters to  underrepresented opinions, addressing inequality and social unrest, and when it comes to the task of advancing sustainable development, there are arguably few more important voices that those of young people.

Young people are well informed,  have strong opinions, they know how to influence others.  They bring fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and unique approaches to every area of life, they see the world through the lens of possibilities rather than problems  infusing vision and vitality into their communities. 

We work with partners across diverse sectors, supporting them to better understand and involve the voice of youth  as a source of value to business.  As more young people enter the workforce, Gen Z is set to become the largest generation within the working population, this demographic shift brings a critical need for business to better understand the needs of young people, an embrace new perspectives and ideas.
