AMP Community Update: November 2025

Greetings, AMP Friends and Family!

We’re excited to share several opportunities to get involved and make your voice heard this fall — from sharing your thoughts on Trust via the State of Global Youth Report survey, to stepping into new volunteer and leadership roles, to joining upcoming events across our network.
Thank you for reading, and for helping spread the word!

1. How Do We Build Trust? Announcing the 2025 State of Global Youth Report
The 2025 State of Global Youth Report is live, and focuses on the timely theme of Trust and how we can rebuild and strengthen our broader social fabric. Led by our student researchers in the US, Brazil, Syria, Russia and beyond, the Report is an important opportunity to highlight youth opinions, as well as youth-driven research. We need your help! Here’s how:

1. Youth leaders and adult allies: Please take a few moments to share your thoughts on Trust via the State of Global Youth Report survey here.
2. Please share the survey with your networks, too! Here’s a blurb you can use: Join me to share your thoughts on how we can restore and build trust in our communities via the State of Global Youth Report here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8TN3F8Y
3. Please reach out if you’re interested in being on the research team, and/or launching a version of this Report in your school or community. We love working with others. Contact us at Opportunities@AMPGlobalYouth.org

• New on the Blog: Discrimination and sectarianism, by AMP youth leaders Mariane, Julia and Saadalah. “So, is sectarianism inevitable? NO! It’s created and maintained by humans, and it CAN be challenged. It doesn’t just kill people, it erases traditions, languages, and entire communities, leaving countries scarred for generations. The stories of the Rohingya, Kurds, Syriacs, Alawites, and Druze are not just sad stories, they are warnings for the future, reminding us that hatred thrives in silence, and by standing up for the marginalized and demanding justice, we break that silence and with it their power over us.” Read the full post here.

Thank you for amplifying the voices of global youth!
