Today’s Actions, Sustainable Future
Our members include students, graduates, and unemployed youth. Despite these differences, we are united by a shared commitment to positive change, sustainability, and youth participation.
While we receive guidance and mentorship from experienced IRO staff, we work as an independent and autonomous youth group, designing and implementing our own initiatives.
