We seek a world where every young person has a voice in the political system.

Pursuing a World Where Every
Child Has a Say in Their Destiny

The Centre is the premier youth organisation fighting for civic engagement on a domestic and global level. We won't stop until children worldwide are educated, engaged, and empowered to make their voices heard in policy.

Meet Abdihakim

Abdihakim Aden is Somalia's Minister for Women and Children. After the Centre led a youth-focused discussion at UN Geneva, the Human Rights Committee recommended his government implement civic education programmes in Somalia.

We don't just discuss issues; we strive to resolve them. Our continued advocacy leads us to work in partnership with governments, like Abdihakim's.

Now, we partner with policy makers and teachers in sub-Saharan Africa to distribute civic education curricula to children, empowering low-income communities to make their voices heard. 

We've championed initiatives worldwide for the betterment of tomorrow.

• Youngest group to introduce federal legislation
• Led global dialogues for change at the UN
Received UN mandates for civic education in 20+ countries under international law

WHY YOUTH?

Youth are at the core of humanity's future. By giving young people a chance to engage with the public affairs process, youth have a say in their – and the world's – future.

It often feels like today's adults have ruined the world.

We're fighting to build a better tomorrow for our children, grandchildren, and more to come. But many countries don't have the proper knowledge to do so. Support our mission to leave behind a better future.
