Mission Statement

To invest in young people’s solutions for our changing planet. Through global dialogue and peer-to-peer learning, we help youth identify and implement the best ideas for creating positive change. We act in the belief that the best way to develop young leaders is to follow them.

Project Summary

Global Youth Fund is a Vancouver-based charity that provides young people with training and support to become effective leaders in a pluralistic world. Click to visit Global Youth Fund.

We engage youth in a democratic process to design and select their own actions for change. We then support them in achieving the goals they have set for themselves.

Our innovative model of youth engagement is based on the philosophy of collective wisdom - the idea that groups of people – under the right circumstances – can make smarter decisions than the smartest individuals in the group.

Our core program, Changemakers, teaches collaborative skills, group leadership, and prepares young people to juggle competing interests – skills necessary for effective leadership in the 21st century.
