Youth Engagement for Peace:

Building the Future Today

In a world often divided by conflict, inequality, and misunderstanding, the role of young people as catalysts for peace has never been more vital. Youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow — they are the changemakers of today.

With energy, creativity, and resilience, young people are uniquely positioned to challenge the status quo, bridge divides, and lead initiatives that foster dialogue, tolerance, and sustainable development. From organizing community peace clubs and climate action projects, to leveraging social media for advocacy, youth are demonstrating that peace is not passive — it is a proactive, courageous choice.

However, meaningful youth engagement goes beyond token involvement. It means giving young people a seat at the table where decisions are made. It means investing in their education, mental health, and leadership development. It means recognizing their potential not just as beneficiaries of peace, but as its architects.

The United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security recognizes the critical role youth play in building and sustaining peace. It calls on governments and institutions to support youth-led efforts and protect young peacebuilders from violence, exclusion, and marginalization.

We believe peace is possible — but it demands action. It demands that we listen to young voices, amplify their efforts, and support their visions for a more just, inclusive, and peaceful world.

Here’s what Resolution 2250 means for you:

🌍 Participation – Your voice matters. You deserve a seat at the table where decisions are made, from your local community to global platforms.

🛡️ Protection – Your rights and safety must be protected, especially if you live in areas affected by war or conflict.

✊ Prevention – You have the creativity and strength to address the root causes of violence and inequality. By standing against hate, discrimination, and extremism, you help build lasting peace.

🤝 Partnership – You are not alone. Governments, civil society, the United Nations, and communities are called to work with you, not just for you.

🌱 Reintegration – For young people who have been affected by violence or drawn into conflict, the resolution calls for healing, rehabilitation, and a path back to community life.

Why it matters

Resolution 2250 is more than a UN document  it’s a promise to young people everywhere. It recognizes your energy, resilience, and leadership. It reminds the world that peace cannot be achieved without you at the center of it

Let us vote for peace, not just with words, but with action. Let us engage youth not as problems to be solved, but as partners for change.
