What is a National Youth Chapter
A WFF National Youth Chapter is a self-organized national youth platform aligned to the principles and mission of the WFF and convened by a local network of partners/organizations. A WFF National Youth Chapters undertake activities and projects in line with the WFF's mission, tracking and mobilizing youth-led local action to help achieve more sustainable agrifood systems in their respective communities, cities and countries.
With National Youth Chapters, young people have a platform to initiate and sustain solution building in their communities, inform policymaking in their countries and regions, and build lasting transformation in their local agrifood systems.
National Youth Chapters are driving change in agrifood systems around the world. Whether through workshops, campaigns or creative actions - every event counts. Chapters are requested to kindly use this form to share key details and outcomes.
