Generation Change

Welcome to the age of giving a damn. We want to make social action a normal part of growing up for all under 25s to create a #socialpurpose driven society.

Very excited to announce that we have transferred our Impact Accelerator to @YouthImpactUK, who will be expanding the scheme across the whole youth sector. Read the full story here: https://t.co/ZWMTyDdhj6

This is a tragedy and part of why I helped set up @GenChange. The good news is: young people today care more about social issues than any generation before them, are more likely to volunteer, and want social purpose careers. There is a future here.

Read and digest. This makes absolute sense to me.

This thread, and the report, are good food for thought for funders of #youthsocialaction this Friday. There's a potential framework for funders to use in thinking about where to target their support, and what it should be backing. Thanks @YouthImpactUK and @DdotReed

Really interesting insights from the Impact Accelerator- thinking about how we can spread best practice in youth social action. What do you think? #iwill #quality #impact

Very pleased with this superb report from the Impact Accelerator. It sets out some powerful recommendations for funders that could change the game when it comes to increasing the quality of youth services. Highlights to follow...

Being part of the @GenChange Impact Accelerator was hugely beneficial for our team @UKYouth. We were delighted to contribute to this @iwill_campaign report and share how the process is helping us continually improve. #impact #learning #partnerships

Throughout history, children have won the future that adults failed to create.

Claudette Colvin, Iqbal Masih, Malala Yousafzai, Greta Thunberg.

Once again, it's time for older generations to follow the lead of the young. Join the #ClimateStrike

"See you on the streets." @gretathunberg urges all to join Friday's global #climatestrike

[Generation Change @GenChange]

Really exciting to be here at a @founderscoders workshop developing an idea from our Hackathon to create a web platform that helps educators to quickly find quality local social action projects. #systemschange

[Bethia McNeil @bethiamcneil]

Delighted to work with @DdotReed @JayEeeEnn and colleagues to make this a reality. A privilege for us @YouthImpactUK to take the Impact Accelerator onwards.

[Sophie Livingstone @LivingstoneSoph]

So pleased that the fantastic Impact Accelerator developed by @GenChange has now transferred to @YouthImpactUK - it will enable them to expand it across the youth sector and is such a great legacy for our collaboration @Ttall @michael_lynas @Jennie_online @matthyde @Lotte_IWill

[The Centres @ YMCA George Williams College @Centres_GWC]

This represents a really valuable addition to @YouthImpactUK 's practice development offer, and we are excited by the opportunity to build on the work of @GenChange, and take the programme onwards into its next phase of life. https://t.co/00km3OvCX7

Let your #changemakers go to the prom, @AlbanyAcademy!

This is such a heartwarming story about how @NCS participants (16 and 17 year olds) have made such a positive difference in local communities (I am a patron so not unbiased) https://t.co/Diz08jTkl1

[Sophie Livingstone @LivingstoneSoph]

Agree with some of this but to do it properly you do have to invest - volunteering is never free and young people need support throughout. The infrastructure is there with @NCS and there's an opportunity with a new PM and CSR to expand its remit. #nationalservice

[Generation Change @GenChange]

The UK desperately needs an extended form of Citizen Service. How many young people would sign up to install solar panels, insulate homes, care for the elderly or mentor in schools - if given the chance?

A really valuable @iwill_campaign report from @GenChange with a useful framework for assessing how organisations use evidence to drive programme quality: https://t.co/NhP0b6sMIo
