MVA's New 'The Power of Youth' Movement is Now Live

As we embark on a new chapter at MVA, it is vital to recognise the transformative potential of young people in shaping our future. The voices of youth must not only be heard but embedded into the very fabric of our strategies, policies, and actions. The Power of Youth movement stands as a testament to this commitment, pushing us to reimagine how young people can lead and thrive in their communities.

The Power of Youth Charter offers a powerful starting point for organisations to demonstrate their dedication to empowering young people. At MVA, we are not just committed to signing this charter but to ensuring its principles are woven into every aspect of our work. True change comes when the sentiments of the charter move beyond words on paper to become the driving force behind our processes, priorities, and culture.

The #iwill movement, which champions the Power of Youth Charter, sees young people as the leaders of today and tomorrow.

To unlock this potential, we must bridge the gap between authorities and young people, fostering an environment where they can influence, innovate, and inspire. When we invest in youth, society reaps the rewards.

A Shared Responsibility

Achieving this vision won’t be easy, but the challenges we face as a society—from climate change to social inequality—demand bold action. By empowering young people, we can not only overcome these obstacles but build a better, more inclusive future for all.

At MVA, we’re committed to seizing this opportunity. By working hand-in-hand with young people and the organisations that support them, we can turn the vision of the Power of Youth into a reality that benefits everyone.
