Mission
Enabling young people
to understand and
act on the world's
greatest challenges.
Vision
Youth everywhere are
actively engaged and
connected in shaping a
more inclusive, peaceful
and sustainable world.
A
Youth Development
Individuals increase their awareness about issues of
public concern, and begin to show interest in staying
informed on an issue or issues.
D
Societal Values
Individuals who self-identify as informed
and skilled begin to connect their efforts to
affect policy, build movements and support
existing projects and organizations.
We believe change occurs when individuals have the opportunity,
ability and motivation to engage meaningfully. Our own theory of
change includes four phases in a cyclical path. Through collective
action, young people possess the capacity to direct change.
Awareness about key issues and the capacity to identify an issue
as problematic are critical components that serve to distinguish
those who lead by initiating projects from those who follow by
participating or learning about them.
Theory of Change
For the past eight
consecutive years,
TakingITGlobal has been
recognized as a "Most
Democratic Workplace"
by WorldBlu.
