JOIN THE MOVEMENT

Society often overlooks the perspectives and potential of young individuals, disregarding their ability to bring about positive change. It’s time for that to change. Youth social action refers to the collective efforts of young people, aka our #iwill Champions, in creating positive changes within their communities. As a leading UK youth charity, #iwill actively promotes and supports youth action initiatives. Through volunteering, fundraising, and community projects, young people can make a real difference and address various social issues.

#iwill is a prominent organisation that champions and empowers young people to engage in social action. Through our programmes, resources, and partnerships, #iwill provides support, guidance, and opportunities for youth action. The organisation encourages young individuals to take an active role in addressing societal challenges and becoming catalysts for change.

The #iwill Movement comprises around 300 #iwill Ambassadors who represent diverse backgrounds throughout the UK. They all share a common passion for creative positive social or environmental change. These Ambassadors have played a significant role in advocating youth social action and influencing the direction and initiatives of #iwill. We also have around 500 #iwill Champions who are enthusiastic young individuals who take action with us online. We collaborate with our #iWill Ambassadors and Champions through various means, involving them in shaping the campaign’s strategy, promoting the message of youth social action, and encouraging organisations to participate.

Youth action has a profound impact on communities. By engaging in youth action projects, young people develop crucial skills, gain valuable experiences, and contribute to addressing pressing social issues that take root in education, social care and in the environment. Through their actions, young individuals inspire others, create positive change, and foster a sense of community cohesion and empowerment.
