While young people will bear the brunt of the global challenges we all face, they certainly must not own sole responsibility for solving them. It will require all of us working together. Leaders must listen to youth, and young people must have a seat at the table— @dtobst added.

[AFS Youth Assembly @YouthAssembly]

Happy International Youth Day! Thank you for daring to reshape the world with us. The time to catalyze that change is now.— @dtobst @afs concluded in his remarks at the #IYD2022 celebration.

We have a tendency to become very enthusiastic about the things that we commit time and effort to achieving. Your passion grows as you encounter progress.

So, maybe stop waiting around for your passion to magically become profitable. Develop your passion, don't follow it.
