Around the world, young people are at the forefront of movements for political change and economic reform, speaking up to hold their leaders accountable and working hard to create the opportunities their generation needs to thrive.
CIPE supports these young leaders and entrepreneurs with training, support, and capacity building for youth-focused programs, exchanges and mentorship from U.S. organization, and entrepreneurship and democracy curricula in schools and universities.
This year, for International Youth Day, the CIPE Development Blog will be focusing on these projects and the youth who make them happen. Starting with a #YouthChange Twitter chat on Monday, August 12, at 10:00 AM EDT, check back all next week on the blogs for stories from youth who are helping build democracies that deliver.
In the meantime, please enjoy the video above from CIPE’s youngest employees here in Washington, DC — our hardworking interns!
