Youth and Network Organizing Resources
This series of documents was put together with a great deal of help from a
large number of people. The purpose of it is to help local young people form groups,
get organized, make changes in their communities, and plug into the greater
youth movement, locally, nationally, regionally, and globally.
We hope that this linking of movements can create new systems of
decision-making from local to global levels in order to achieve sustainable
development and create a world that works for all.
A document outlining this vision and strategy is available at http://www.youthmovements.org
