Why It Matters

Young people are a powerful force in the present. Globally, over 1.2 billion youth are shaping the digital and green transitions, yet 1 in 5 remain outside education, employment, or training (ILO), and their representation in decision-making remains limited.

In the UK, youth leadership is critical to social cohesion, particularly as 1 in 8 young people report chronic loneliness (ONS). In fragile contexts, these challenges are even more pronounced, leaving many young people excluded from shaping their futures.

EduRise for Development turns this potential into agency by creating inclusive pathways for young people to build confidence, develop future-ready skills, and lead change in their communities.
