Strategy for UNESCO's Action with and for Youth The objective of our actions should therefore be the empowerment of young people to ensure their full participation in society as equal and valuable partners. To empower young people is to enable them to use the forces that they have in the service of development: our action must be one that reaches out to young people, responds to their concerns and expectations, and fosters skills which are useful and long-lasting. This approach is geared to be comprehensive in order to address all of youth -- a heterogeneous group in constant evolution.

What Kids Can Do Based in Providence, R.I., What Kids Can Do (WKCD) is a national nonprofit founded in January 2001 by an educator and journalist with more than 50 years' combined experience supporting adolescent learning in and out of school. Together, they felt an urgent need to promote perceptions of young people as valued resources, not problems, and to advocate for learning that engages students as knowledge creators and not simply test takers. Just as urgent, they believed, was the need to bring youth voices to policy debates about school, society, and world affairs.
