The Global Network of Young Persons with Disabilities

Young leaders with disabilities in more than 80 countries. NClude leads the Network and supported its formation.

What the Network does

Advocacy

Members bring the priorities of young people with disabilities into international forums, including United Nations processes on disability rights, development, and climate.

Peer connection

Members share resources, opportunities, and practical knowledge across countries.

Leadership development

The Network trains young advocates and supports local chapters.

Climate and disability

People with disabilities are among the most exposed to disasters and among the least included in planning for them. Network members, many of whom live in highly climate-exposed regions, advocate for disability-inclusive climate and disaster planning. This work feeds directly into our Resilience 4 All program.
