I found Sonia Sidhu’s blog on Social Enterprise at its Finest, to show the growing trend in society to uplift and inspire youth. Youth United will empower the young to believe in and contribute to the change they seek for their future.I find many of the social issues, Youth United, wishes to tackle in line with those of We Day.
Founded by Craig and Marc Kielburger, We Day sets to unite youth across the globe in a movement of positive change. Young people fill stadiums across the world all in support of the education and inspiration of possible change through the power of youth.
We, the youth, will become the leaders and the deciders of global change. I believe organizations such as Youth United and We Day are helping to shape the trend of empowering youth. They also entice more young people to become change makers and make tackling social issues ‘cool’. Craig Kielburger and Jyothindra Nath are both social entrepreneurs whom organize and create social ventures with the importance of youth in consideration. They are harnessing and uplifting a power which will undoubtedly affect the future.
