For globally engaged young people
IAYG’s mission is to advance geographic, global citizenship, and environmental education
Growth. Globalization. Rising inequality. Rising seas.
Every young person today will experience lives shaped by an interconnected world. Their communities will face shared global challenges. Far too few will have the knowledge and exposure to tackle them.
We believe that every young person should be able to learn about and engage in the world. Our work is a small start toward a more informed generation.

2019-2020 COVID-19 Pandemic
The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic is imposing a significant impact on projects and events for IAYG. It has already caused postponements and cancellations, and will likely result in dramatic shifts in our focuses as we work to prioritize health and safety. We ask project leads to closely abide by the recommendations of the World Health Organization and individual national public health agencies. We will post basic updates for team members and programme participants at iaygfamily.org/coronavirus.
