🎥 Want to see youth work in action?

You can also watch films about some of our amazing grantees, such as Cup-O-T and M13 Youth Project – that highlight the varied roles of youth workers, and the transformational impact they can have on young people’s lives.

The result? 10 key roles across relationships, advocacy, and system-level work.
