Youth Action Looks Like…
Five youth leaders from Bangladesh, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, and Uganda are picking up the microphone this International Youth Day to share how they're building stronger, more equitable communities.
In today's uncertain world, young people in the Global South are not waiting for change to happen. They are already leading it in classrooms, in market stalls, in savings groups, and in their own homes. This International Youth Day, BRAC is highlighting what Youth Action Looks Like through five stories of young leaders who share their hopes, ideas, and dreams for the future - and how they're already making change in their own communities.
