Mission Statement
The Foreign Policy Youth Collaborative is a nonpartisan nonprofit that highlights youth voices and creates long-term pathways to bridge the gap between politicians and teens across the political spectrum.
Description
The Foreign Policy Youth Collaborative (FPYC) is by teens, for teens. Comprised of teenagers from across the world, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization started as a byproduct of CIEE’s World Government study abroad program. After meeting with representatives of the EU and international nonprofits, the lack of young adults’ voices in policy was troubling: it was time to do something about it. FPYC aims to be a safe space for teenagers to share perspectives, and maybe learn a new one while they’re here. After all, young people will have to live with the policy decisions of today. So, get ready to talk about it!
