We believe that young people are essential to creating solutions to tackle poverty and fight for justice.

The Change Initiative program offers an inclusive, engaging and collaborative space to learn campaigning skills and how to channel all that passion you have into effective campaigning to create REAL change.

Join a network of young campaigners committed to standing up for justice and taking action for a future free from poverty.
