Youth

In most societies, the youth are too often denied real opportunities for social, economic and political advancement and are all too frequently excluded from participating in discussions and debates regarding the issues that will affect their futures. The youth represent the future of the Americas and they must be provided with these rights and opportunities from an early age. This is why the OAS has been active in responding to their needs by engaging, involving and empowering young citizens across the Hemisphere in an effort to promote equality, integral development, hemispheric security, and democratic governance.
