The Citizens Now Podcast
Welcome to the Citizens Now Podcast, a space to hear stories of young people from all over the world who
are actively working to bring about positive social change.
In each episode we explore how young people are
stepping into their power, what fuels them, what sustains them, and what gives
them hope. We’re asking what kind of world they wish to build and what they
think young people can bring to the challenges facing us in this moment.
