That's who participate in school and community activities who spend more than $170 billion a year and who care about the world in which they live. However, that's also of the population who cannot vote and who are supposed to be seen and not heard making for a resounding of the future who have not been encouraged to exercise leadership today. Shouldn't young people have a voice in issues that directly concern them? Youth no longer have to be shut out. More adults recognize that the long tradition of making decisions for youth without youth has failed.Getting the powers-that-be to take seriously the ideas and solutions offered by the next generation is not as difficult as you might expect. Youth Activism is your youth advocate resource center This site aims to prove that MINORS can play a MAJOR ROLE. Our national clearinghouse also provides help and information to parents, mentors, teachers, principals, policy-makers and other adult allies who want to collaborate with youth to achieve positive community change

Home My Voice Counts Youth Action Center What You Can Do Stories by Youth Activists ... Take Action Youth Activism Brings Meaning to My Life By Ritu, Youth Activist, Peer Advisor, and Volunteer Why am I a youth activist? Because my cultural background forced me to be. Growing up as a first generation South Asian woman, I noticed that other South Asian women suffered from a chronic problem known as misinformation. Young women were victims of an unrealistic double standard and grew up sheltered from reality, especially when it came to sexuality. There are many taboos surrounding sexuality in my culture. Speaking of sexuality is not allowed. When a loved one is lost to HIV/AIDS, not speaking about it brings grief. And, it hurts especially to know such a death could have been prevented with education. This has been my inspiration for becoming a youth activist. Young people are the future, and people under age 22 are the first generation to spend their entire lives worrying about or confronted with HIV/AIDS. Why would we want to risk our lives through ignorance? Through my experiences working as a peer advisor for a woman's shelter and as a volunteer at a women's center, I have learned a great deal. I am lucky to have the knowledge I do and the opportunity to seek out more knowledge and experience.

It represents excerpts from a longer report prepared for the Global Interdependence Initiative by Paul G. Aaron, with the purpose of identifying areas in which young activists and adults engaged in work on global issues might work together. The report will be published here in ten segments. Though anecdotal and fragmentary, evidence suggests an increasing interface between American youth activism and global engagement. Young people are playing important roles in a number of campaigns where international and domestic problems (and their solutions) overlap. Such campaigns include efforts to: Reform and democratize institutions of global capital Ban landmines Stop sweatshops and press for labor rights Mobilize against draconian drug laws and the onslaught of the "prison-industrial complex" (and to link these domestic phenomena to worldwide patterns of social and racial exclusion)

This was unexpected because she usually gets prevented from speaking about politics on TV. Instead, she is sometimes allowed to talk about her New Armenia organization but this evening she was talking about youth. In particular, she criticized the Baze Pan Armenian Youth Assembly which, like many other people, she considers to be part of a government policy to keep youth inactive and apathetic so as to prevent the emergence of a genuine student movement in Armenia. New Internationalist magazine to interview her they made her one of the activists in the post-soviet world For example, when the police The quotes above are from an interview I conducted with Eleonora at the end of 2004. The interview is online here the abuse of state funds designated for supporting youth in Armenia. “We decided to find out where the money goes, which the government in the form of a grant through a special decision had to allot to the youth, their issues and organizations that deal with those issues,” says Manandyan. After two and a half months of trying to get information from the Ministry of Culture and Youth Issues, it took a threat of legal action to finally get answers.
