24 years. Countless lessons. ✨

Some lessons came from victories. Some came from mistakes and many came from young people, communities, partners, colleagues, and friends who walked alongside us over the years.

As we mark 24 years of The YP Foundation, we're looking back at the ideas, values, and moments that have shaped who we are. From A for Agency to I for Impact, to keeping the Z for Zeal alive, this is the chapter of our alphabet of learnings.

Not because we've figured it all out, but because the work continues to teach us, every single day.

Here's to 24 years of asking questions, building trust, choosing care, and believing that young people don't just imagine change, they lead it.

Thanks to each and everyone of you for loving us, standing with us🤍

The future of local governance cannot be built without young people.

This week, The YP Foundation participated in the UCLG World Congress 2026 in Tangier, contributing to global conversations on feminist municipalism, care-centred governance, civic space, and intergenerational leadership through our engagement with the Generation Equality Action Coalition on Feminist Movements and Leadership.

As communities continue to navigate interconnected crises, cities and local governments have a critical role in shaping equitable, caring, and democratic futures. We believe young people are not merely stakeholders in these conversations. They are already leading change, sustaining movements, and imagining new possibilities for governance.

Through dialogues at the Women's Assembly and World Council, we joined leaders, organisers, and advocates from across the world in advancing a shared vision: territories where care, equity, participation, and justice are foundational public values.
