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.

Our stories are our superpower. Let’s use them to inspire others and demonstrate the impact youth social action is making. We are asking you to share with us what youth social action means to you, or your organisation, and the experiences which have changed your journey.

Share with us here what youth social action has meant to you or your organisation.

WHAT WE WANT TO ACHIEVE

In 2023, we will be celebrating the success and diversity of youth social action, showcasing many of the voices involved and setting out how we can better strengthen youth social action in the coming decade.

Celebrate how far we’ve come

Over the last 10 years we’ve seen youth social action grow, challenge, and break new ground. From the big initiatives to the little changes, that make the difference- we are celebrating the rich diversity of youth social action across the UK.

Unlock the next decade of place based change

We know that young people, and their power will transform communities, towns and cities. As a movement we want all young people to be equipped and enabled to challenge, shape and change systems and structures, to bring about a more fair and equal society, championed by the power of youth.

Sustain the Movement

Saying you’re committed to #iwill is great, but taking action to create a sustainable movement across the UK is what we are really calling on you do. Join the Movement and collaborate with young people and stakeholders from across society to ensure the #iwill Movement is here to stay.
