A Youth-Led Civic Initiative

PARALLAX

Global Perspectives. Civic Influence. Youth Governance.

A youth-led initiative understanding how young people experience civic participation — and creating real opportunities for them to shape their communities.

Why PARALLAX Exists

Young people are affected by decisions made in their schools and communities every day — yet their perspectives are not consistently included in the conversations surrounding those decisions.

Through research, education, and engagement, we document what young people experience — and create real opportunities for them to be heard.

What We Do

Three areas of work

Each area reinforces the others.

01

Research and Listening

Documenting youth experiences and publishing research on civic participation.

02

Civic Education

Interactive classroom workshops on how local decisions are made — and how students can shape them.

03

Youth Engagement

Mentorship and new ways for young people to take part in their communities.
