Change 1 seeks to improve the capacity of youth-led and youth-serving institutions and engage young people, their families, and communities so that youth can reach their full potential.
We envision a world in which children will grow up to become responsible, successful, and contributing leaders and members of their respective communities.
We believe that by helping and showing kindness to others, we are giving them the opportunity to one day do the same unto the next.
By equipping youths with essential life skills, resources, and knowledge, we are planting seeds, in hope that they will one day sprout to fruition.
We unceasingly pursue our pure and just cause in hopes to inspire other members within our community to join us in our mission.
By engaging with the greater community, we spread awareness and create lasting change within the hearts and minds of people.
Positive Youth Development (PYD) is both a philosophy and an approach to adolescent development. While there are several definitions of PYD, Change 1 supports the following:
Positive youth development engages youth along with their families, communities and/or governments so that youth are empowered to reach their full potential. PYD approaches build skills, assets and competencies; foster healthy relationships; strengthen the environment; and transform systems.
