Young people are the driving force behind social change, yet many lack the platforms and resources needed to actively engage in leadership and decision-making. PASOS presents the Youth Leadership & Advocacy Forum, an interactive event designed to empower young leaders, activists, and changemakers with the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to drive meaningful change in their communities.

The forum will feature high-level panel discussions, skill-building workshops, and networking sessions aimed at equipping youth with advocacy tools, leadership techniques, and strategies for community engagement. Key themes will include youth participation in governance, social justice movements, entrepreneurship for social impact, and digital activism. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from seasoned activists, policymakers, and social entrepreneurs who have successfully led transformative initiatives.

A significant part of the forum will focus on how young people can influence policy and governance. Often, youth voices are overlooked in decision-making processes, despite being the most affected by social and economic policies. This event will provide practical guidance on how to organize advocacy campaigns, engage with government institutions, and leverage technology to amplify civic movements.

Whether you are an aspiring leader, student, activist, or young professional, this event will help you connect with like-minded peers, gain valuable insights, and take action to create a better future. Don’t miss this chance to develop your leadership potential and be part of a movement shaping the next generation of change-makers!
