Our network
peace powered by youth
We are a network of around 130 youth organisations in 70 countries, united around the vision of a world free from violence, where:
- where young people have the power to transform conflict;
- where youth participation is real and meaningful for all;
- where young people actively partner for peace without fear or threat.
Our Teams
Behind our extensive network of young peacebuilders stands a number of specialised teams, committed to amplifying youth voices for peace, strengthening the UNOY network, and advancing the Youth, Peace and Security agenda.

Meet noura, pablo, ray, musamba & sabeena
We like to think of peacebuilding in terms of a landscape. When soil is fertile, our natural world flourishes. The same is true of peace; when the environment is enabling, young peacebuilders thrive. As the United Network of Young Peacebuilders, we're creating a world where young people are central to building and sustaining peace, where Noura is protected, Pablo is resourced, Ray is meaningfully participating, Musamba is an equal partner, and Sabeena is a creative changemaker. Find out more about their journey and ours.
