What an incredible year we've had! As we enter into the final 2 days of our #UnleashthePower fundraising campaign, we want to share with you some highlights from the culmination of our 2023 programs and beginning of our 2024 journey, as a glimpse into the transformative work that we have made possible, thanks to your support last year.
We are more than half way to our goal this year and need your help - please consider supporting our youth again to lead our 2024 programming with a donation and/or sharing this transformative work with others. Together, we can #UnleashthePower of youth to reclaim their education and weave transformation in their communities.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH, made possible by your support in 2023:
We hosted our 4th annual YxY Learning Festival. We began with 9 in-person meet-ups gathering 300 young people in our Glocal Hubs, culminating with a 3-day global learning journey gathering 345 youth activists and adult allies dedicated to transforming education, intergenerationally. See our Collective Harvest from all the conversations that took place and our Breakdown by Session documents. All of our sessions have been recorded and are on a playlist on our YxY Youtube page.
We graduated our Weavership Class of 2023, an incredible cohort of 41 Weavers who completed our 10-month capacity-building program. Explore their stories, challenges, and triumphs on our blog – a testament to the impact our community is making globally.
We are celebrating the 36 youth projects emerging from our 2023 Global Action Circles program. Watch their Showcases from Day 2 and Day 3 of Learning Festival on our playlist, and get to know all showcasing Activists in this Global Action Circles (GAC) Booklet.
