Is the youth voice heard around our greatest challenges? Do young leaders have the support they want to grow into the leaders we need? Let’s discuss the STATE OF GLOBAL YOUTH!

The State of Global Youth Report tackled these big questions, and more. We captured the values, priorities, skills, and needs of youth. The report serves as both a statement on youth priorities today, as well as a call-to-action for youth leaders and those who support them. And true to our mission, it was implemented by youth.

Through focus groups, surveys, interviews, and creative activities, our researchers spoke to hundreds of youth from around the globe, as well as allies, educators and parents who support them.

More on why we’re doing this work: This is the 20th anniversary year for AMP Global Youth. Founded by students at Yale after 9/11, since our earliest days we have been a champion of amplifying the youth voice around our greatest global challenges. While that broad mission endures, the interests, values and connections of youth have evolved significantly. To mark this milestone in our work, and position ourselves for our most impactful decade yet, we are taking stock of this moment, youth priorities, and our opportunity to amplify the next generation of young global leaders.
