Why should a student/youth join MYV?

Because education alone does not prepare us for everything life and leadership demand.

MYV gives youth an opportunity to:

Discover — understand yourself.
Learn — develop yourself.
Engage — get involved.
Lead — take responsibility.
Impact — make a difference.

Through the Changemakers Leadership Development Pathway, youth develop practical life and leadership capabilities, learn from experience and mentorship, work with others, take responsibility for meaningful action, and experience what it means to create impact.

   What does a youth get?

• Greater self-awareness and direction

• Practical life and leadership skills

• Opportunities to learn by doing

• Mentorship and exposure

• Experience working in teams

• Experience taking responsibility

• Opportunities to contribute to the community

• Recognition for meaningful participation and impact

• A network of fellow changemakers

• A pathway for continued action

What does MYV expect in return?

Not money.

Not blind participation.

Not attendance for a certificate.

Commitment. Responsibility. Integrity. Action.

MYV is for youth who want to grow, want to contribute and are willing to act.
