YOUNG LEADERS ENGAGED IN BUILDING A BETTER WORLD
About

Robert F. Kennedy called young people “the world’s hope.” We foster that optimism by convening young leaders engaged in making their world a more just and fair place. These innovative, influential and philanthropic young adults host events and share ideas that result in new approaches to human rights advocacy.
