Empowering. Transformational. Life-changing.⚡️ As our inaugural Youth Advisors prepare for their next chapters, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible impact they’ve had at Mission 44. From helping shape our strategy and grantmaking, to co-designing a new Youth Empowerment programme, this incredible group of young leaders have been at the heart of everything we do. They’ve shown us that when young people are given a seat at the table, they drive real change by bringing their lived experiences to the conversation. To our departing Youth Advisors: thank you for your confidence, your insight, and for demonstrating the transformative power of young voices. We can’t wait to see how you continue to change the world 🌍✨ Read more about their impact at Mission 44 here:
