Children of the Earth: Vision & Mission for Global Youth Empowerment

We affirm that we are spiritual beings having a human experience, committed to birthing higher consciousness and co-creating a world that works for all.

Our Vision

A sustainable world in which self-empowered youth flourish and creatively develop their communities for the common good — recognising the unity of all life.

Our Mission

We create environments — in-person and digital — where youth discover their unique contribution, develop inner strength, and turn personal growth into collective action for a just, thriving future.
