Ways Community-Led Development Empowers Young People

Community-led development puts young people at the center of local decision-making, helping them grow as leaders, problem-solvers, and innovators.

It builds confidence, encourages creativity, strengthens collaboration with community members, and results in more sustainable development outcomes. When youth help shape solutions, communities thrive.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
