Grassroots Action for Global Change.

Youth Speak is an international non-governmental organization that works with young people in conflict affected areas to amplify their voices and ideas to improve their communities


Youth Speak works with young people to ensure not only that their ideas are supported, but that they have the necessary skills to resolve challenges among their teams and ensure project sustainability. 


Young people around the world, but particularly those exposed to conflict, often feel confined by social expectations and cultural norms of how they should behave-- something that can be especially true around gender and gender expression. Youth Speak works with young people to identify ways that they can express themselves in safe and constructive ways that benefit their communities.


Supporting arts and cultural initiatives in an environmentally aware and sustainable way is a key part of Youth Speaks' work. When the artistic and cultural ideas of young people are supported in a way that brings tangible, positive changes to their physical environment is when they feel they truly have a voice in what comes next.
