GenHR’s new Youth Changemaker Project is an initiative that seeks to highlight the work of teens aged 13-19 who promote positive change in their communities, from a local to global level. The Youth Changemaker Project was created by youth, for youth. GenHR Youth Changemakers are honored for their dedication to justice, progress, equality, and humanity and are featured on our webpage and social media platforms. Through this project, Generation Human Rights is excited to amplify the voices of youth changemakers and bring more attention to the change-inspiring work that they are doing.

The project was started by three student interns - Nasif Azher, 17, Olivia Yang, 16, and Uma Menon, 17.
