ORGANISATIONS

How can your organisation get involved?

Firstly, start by making a meaningful pledge to the #iwill campaign. Doing so is a great way to publicly show your organisation’s commitment to empowering young people to make a positive difference.

Secondly, you can empower young people by making youth social action a key part of your organisation’s culture and practice. There are five key ways in which your organisation can do this:

• Prioritise youth social action
• Offer leadership opportunities
• Work together
• Evaluate and share impact
• Recognise and celebrate young people

Thirdly, let others know the great work your organisation is doing to support the campaign! Tell stories, share data, get involved in #iwill campaign activities like #iwillWeek and Youth Social Action Day, and celebrate young people.

DO IT: EMBED SOCIAL ACTION

Youth social action benefits young people, the organisations they work with, their communities, and wider society. But for more young people to have meaningful opportunities, we need to embed social action into the culture and practice of our organisations.

That means prioritising it. It means measuring it. It means partnering with other organisations. It means getting young people into roles where they can affect decision-making. And it means recognising and celebrating their impact.

SHARE IT: TELL YOUR STORY

GET INVOLVED

Get involved in opportunities to celebrate young people taking part in social action.
