YOUth ACT is looking for YOUR help

YOUth ACT is a community-based hub for young change-makers. Our ultimate goal is to live in a world where young people (under 30) with diverse experiences are empowered to participate in political, social, and economic decision-making by creating a space within which young people can take action. Our vision is to be:

  • a community-based hub for young advocates, activists, and social entrepreneurs; 
  • an accelerator for people providing a range of opportunities for personal and professional development;
  • an active challenger of the idea that only those who are privileged and powerful can be change-makers by increasing opportunities for those who have been marginalized by systems of oppression.

We officially became a Stichting in October this year. With the help of 26 volunteers, we have been able to operate with no funds for over a year. Now, we're are looking for funds to cover our costs for next year.
