Young people talking outside at an event

make a positive difference on the issues that affect lives, communities, and society

Young people aren’t just the leaders of tomorrow. We have the energy, skills and ideas to change society and the environment for the better today. Yet society often fails to listen to our views or recognise our ability to make a positive difference.

FIGHT YOUR CAUSE

#iwill Champions are young people, 10-25, who want to play their part in society by campaigning, volunteering or fundraising to make a difference in their communities. Join with hundreds of other young people across the UK.

LEAD THE MOVEMENT

#iwill Ambassadors are remarkable 10-25 year-olds from all backgrounds. But they all have one thing in common – a passion that drives them to help others.

Each year we recruit 50 ambassadors, so you can find out how to apply in 2024.

PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT

Signing the Power of Youth Charter is a great way to publicly show your organisation’s commitment to empowering young people to make a positive difference.

10 years, 10 stories, 10 years of iWill

10 Stories, 10 Years

We believe there is no one way to do social action. Every person has a unique journey and a powerful story to tell. Here from #iwill Ambassadors past and present and start your journey today.

10 years of #iwill

10 years ago, in 2013, #iwill was founded to showcase the Power of Youth social action and encourage others to better involve young people in the decisions that are being made. Join us as we celebrate 10 years of #iwill and help build the Movement.

#IWILL CHAMPIONS

#iwill Champions are children and young people who are working to make a positive difference in their communities, and wider society, through social action. Whether you are collecting items for a foodbank for the first time, or you are a young trustee of a national charity, your social action matters.
