What is the World Youth Alliance?

The World Youth Alliance is a global coalition of young people committed to promoting the dignity of the person and building solidarity among youth from developed and developing nations. We train young people to work at the regional and international levels to impact policy and culture. Through this lived experience of the dignity of the person, young people are able to affirm life at all levels of society.

The work of WYA has three main thrusts: training, advocacy and culture. We train young people to impact policy and culture through a deeper understanding of human dignity, preparing members to effectively articulate and implement their ideas. We offer internships at our regional office or at our other regions. We send trained members to participate at international organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union. We also create and promote person-centered cultural projects, bringing young people together and offering a lived experience of the idea of the dignity of the person.
