GYAN’s purpose is to leverage the collective power of young people
to change the world. We provide
a clearinghouse of information, resources and opportunities
for making a difference. Through our partnership with
TakingITGlobal, GYAN offers its members a vibrant
on-line community with web-based project management tools
and the opportunity for greater visibility.
The Network
represents a growing alliance of youth-led and youth-serving
organizations in more than 190 countries, working together
to improve our world. Membership is open on different
levels to any organization that supports young people
and which does not advocate hatred or violence in any
form. More than 1,200 organizations have applied for GYAN to date and we are currently finalizing a revised membership structure. Stay tuned for more updates.
