Our Story
After 6 years of weaving, reimagining, and belonging to this global community of youth activists and adult allies, we have closed the central operations of YouthxYouth and opened a process of decentralization and localization.
This transition was one chosen with intention. It is in recognition that the structures that have thus far held us can no longer serve the vision we carry. It is an honouring of what has been, and a release that makes space for what wants to emerge.
The seeds we’ve planted together (the relationships, knowledge, stories; our ways of being, doing, and learning) will continue to grow in the soil of our Glocal Hubs and live on through our youth and (emerging) adult activists, who are weaving communities and movements around the world towards our collective liberation. And that feels sacred.
We will always hold the fullness of what YouthxYouth has been: a home for young people across the world who dared to face the world wholeheartedly, radically reimagine beyond the structures we’ve inherited, and to courageously and collectively step into action. Our legacy lives on, in you, in us, and in the work that continues to call us forward.
Knowledge Garden
Before closing its central operations, YouthxYouth opened its entire body of work to the world. You can explore it all in YxY's Knowledge Garden, a living repository that preserves everything created and woven through this community.

The work
lives on
Though we have stepped back from central operations, YxY's work lives on in a decentralized form through Glocal Hubs within our communities. Glocal Hubs are locally rooted, globally supported homes for youth-led transformation of education. They are facilitated by youth weavers in partnership with allies and institutions to accelerate the process of young people influencing, designing, and creating systemic change locally.
