In this month’s issue, we are sharing some of the inspiring and life changing experiences that our members have undergone in some of WYA’s programs. This month, over 60 young people from around the world participated in our 13th Annual International Solidarity Forum and adopted the Declaration on Population and Environment.

Give WYA a birthday gift today or contact our regional offices to make a donation. Your contribution helps us build a better world.
