Who are the 50 Percenters?

We are a mutually supportive learning community of young people and youth-focused organisations, equipping young people with practical tools to understand how interconnected systems shape our world.

This empowers them to identify powerful leverage points for change and create meaningful impact—locally, nationally and globally—as active citizens.

WHAT DRIVES OUR WORK

Vision

To be a global leader in bridging youth across different geographies to engage in systems transformation by creating opportunities for learning and doing.

Mission

Create a liberating environment for youth to rise to the challenges of our generation through: challenging the status quo; offering strategies and solutions, matching learning with action and well-being and fostering global solidarity.

OUR FOUR PILLARS

Our long-term ambition is to nurture a global generation of systems leaders equipped to address the structural challenges shaping our world.

We pursue this through four interconnected pillars that guide how we cultivate leadership, foster collaboration and embed youth voices within systems transformation processes.
