Last week, our Co-founder Saumya Aggarwal represented us at the Ministerial Breakfast on the work of the United Nations Youth Office, a high-level side event during the ECOSOC Youth Forum 2025 at the United Nations Headquarters, New York.

The event brought together Ministers, UN leaders, and youth changemakers from over 30 countries to discuss how we can move from promises to policies, from inclusion to co-leadership.

🎤 In their address, our Co-founder highlighted:
➡️ That youth aren’t the leaders of tomorrow, they’re leading today
➡️ The need to shift from tokenistic inclusion to genuine co-creation in policymaking
➡️ Powerful case studies—like the youth-led Interfaith Harmony Policy in Pakistan
➡️ A call for flexible, sustained funding and long-term platforms for youth-led impact

This is not just a conversation—it’s a movement. And we are proud to be at the heart of it. 💪🏽🌱

To everyone who shared this space, your passion fuels ours. Together, we keep pushing for systems that center youth—not just as voices, but as partners in progress.

Huge thanks to and the for creating this intergenerational space of action, accountability, and hope. 🚀
