The world is on the brink of something historic. In 2016, people in 193 countries begin working towards 17 GlobalGoals to achieve three extraordinary outcomes in the next 15 years: End Poverty, Promote Prosperity, and Protect the Planet.
With half the world's population now under age 25, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says young people will lead the way: "This is the largest generation of young people in history - and with this agenda, they can shape history. A child who is ten will come of age with the Sustainable Development Goals. I call today's youth the 'SDG generation.' Young people can mobilize the world. They can lead us to a better future."
With that in mind, Youth Service America (YSA) challenges youth ages 25 and under to participate in their Global Goals contest in three easy steps:
- Think critically about the Sustainable Development Goals and how youth will take a leadership role.
- Create an image (photo, drawing, painting, or graphic) that shows how youth will "lead us to a better future". Focus on ways that youth will take action ASAP (through Awareness, Service, Advocacy, and/or Philanthropy).
- Submit your entry by January 20, 2016.
YSA will select winners to be recognized internationally. Each of the winners will also receive a gift card. Enter your image of a better future created by youth at www.YSA.org/globalgoals
