State of Youth

Join the Movement, Make a Change

Are you ready to take action and change the world? Or are you already making a difference and looking for a platform to create a greater impact? Then join the Movement and start or join your own Chapter on our platform and become a changemaker!


State of Youth is here to empower young people aged 12 to 29 by building a global platform for leadership and changemaking. We give you the opportunity to engage and act on themes related to the United Nations' Suistainable Development Goals (SDGs) and guided by children's rights principles.


Founded by KidsRights in 2019 at the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in Mexico, State of Youth is a worldwide grassroots movement created for youth, by youth. We provide young people with the tools, resources and global connections necessary to tackle the most urgent challenges facing the world today.
