The Problem
Despite the significant potential of young people, a lack of collaboration, resources, and supportive frameworks hinders their ability to address pressing global issues. Existing efforts often struggle to bridge the gap between global goals and local solutions. We need a concerted effort to bridge the gap between global goals and local solutions.

Changemaker20: Where the Revolution for a Better Tomorrow Began
The Changemaker20 summit brought together youth leaders and changemakers from around the world to engage in transformative dialogues and envision a better future. Through this gathering, the Global Changemaker Collective was born – a collaborative platform dedicated to unleashing the potential of young people as agents of positive change in their communities. By equipping youth with skills, knowledge, and networks, the Collective aims to drive lasting impacts through experiential programs, leadership development, and localization of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
