WHO WE ARE?

We are YouthShare Initiatives: an international, youth-led think-action tank, recognized by UNSDSN, Google, and Microsoft for Nonprofits. Based in France, with active representation across African nations and members worldwide, we operate as a global catalyst for youth engagement.
We believe young people are indispensable co-architects of development.

Vision Statement

We envision a world where youth, in all their diversity, are recognized as a driving force for sustainable development, peace, and social justice. YouthShare Initiatives aims to build a global ecosystem where the ideas, voices, and actions of young people become catalysts for structural and lasting transformation.

Our vision is one of empowered, connected, and leading youth, capable of shaping just transitions in response to environmental, technological, and democratic challenges.

We believe in a future where no young person is left behind a future where every youth can act with dignity, creativity, and responsibility to co-create resilient, equitable, and inclusive societies, both locally and globally.

OUR ORGANIZATION

A Global Movement, Youth-Powered.

We exist to ignite the potential within youth across continents, transforming passion into tangible, systemic change. We don’t just talk about the future; we build it, together.

Our unique model bridges innovative research, bold advocacy, and impactful on-the-ground action. We connect, empower, and amplify the voices ensuring young people are not just heard, but are leading the charge as co-architects of a more just, sustainable, and equitable world.

Founding Story

Youthshare Initiatives was born from the convergence of two powerful commitments. Lyne, driven by a visceral passion for climate and nature issues, gained solid expertise through her experience in major organizations. Her ambition was to transform this knowledge into a massive surge of action for the global youth

Meanwhile, Roberto, profoundly dedicated to human development and dignity, always believed that education and the pooling of efforts were the ultimate path to collective progress. Their union was both natural and necessary: they founded Youthshare Initiatives with the ambition of becoming the essential global connector, aiming to equip and link the next generation, all over the world.
