We started with Model UN.

Today, we do much more.

We began our journey with Model UN simulations, ​creating a space for students to engage in ​meaningful dialogue and debate.

Today, we do much more. We offer a diverse array of ​programs, including workshops, leadership training, ​and global issue forums, all designed to empower ​young leaders.

Our mission has evolved to provide comprehensive ​educational experiences that prepare participants to ​make a meaningful impact in their communities and ​the world. Join us as we explore new horizons and ​shape the future together.

We are youth-led.

100%.

We pride ourselves on being entirely youth-led.

That means that all of our staff team are made up of ​people under 30.

Our organization is run by passionate and dedicated ​young leaders who understand the unique challenges ​and opportunities facing their peers. This perspective ​drives our mission and ensures that our programs are ​relevant, engaging, and impactful.

Being youth-led allows us to create a dynamic and ​innovative environment where young voices are heard ​and empowered to make a real difference.
