Youth Leadership

Our youth leadership initiative is supported by Doug Cohen, Chair, Resource Council – National Youth Initiatives and the Inspired Futures Campaign of the U.S. Partnership for Sustainable Development, and founder of The Leadership Center. Doug writes:

The Inspired Futures Campaign – InterGenerational Partnerships for Livable Futures is the Youth Leadership development effort of the US Partnership. It is the US NGO, non-profit arm of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development.

There is a useful introductory and core idea that has been proposed, that one definition of Sustainability is:

The lifelong, mutually beneficial ‘Conversation between the Generations’ is Sustainability.

YOU ARE INVITED, YOU ARE WELCOME

This campaign consists of a number of core initiatives and activities: Mounting ‘Youth Voice’ Delegations and speakers to local, regional and global conferences; supporting the leadership capacity and skills of youth as project members, leaders and founders of efforts, and ‘doers’ who bring sustainability initiatives alive in communities; a support network for resource sharing, creative ‘solutions seeking’ and a web of fellowship and dialogue that nurtures both the skills and spirit of its members through deep mutual regard.

YOU ARE INVITED YOU ARE WELCOME

Leadership Quotes

"Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged."
(Thomas A. Edison—thanks to Regan Caton)

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” (G.B. Shaw)

"There is the true joy of life: to be used by a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; to be thoroughly worn out before being thrown on the scrap heap; to be a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that life will not devote itself to making you happy." (G.B. Shaw)

"Leadership is a privilege to better the lives of others. It is not an opportunity to satisfy personal greed." (Mwai Kibaki, President of Kenya - thanks to Christine Comaford, Rules for Renegades)
