Youth-led social action - also known as community action - is about young people identifying and tackling issues to make change in their communities.
Feeling connected to your community and invested in local decision-making is key to citizenship. Young people can do this by campaigning, taking practical action, providing peer support or fundraising.
Our education team has designed resources and training to help you lead inspiring, youth-led social action projects in the local community.
