We do this in partnership with young people, governments and other key stakeholders.

4 Our mission is grounded within a rights-based approach, guided by the realities facing young people in the Commonwealth, and anchored in the belief that young people are: a force for peace, democracy, equality and good governance, a catalyst for global consensus building, and an essential resource for poverty eradication and sustainable development.
