Our Story

Introduction

Generation Positive (G+) is an independent, non-profit international organization that fosters peace through empowering leaders in post-war countries. G+ was established in 2014 to empower and support Afghan youth, creating a new identity for Afghanistan that embodies volunteerism, peace, quality education, and positive social development.

Today our mission extends beyond Afghanistan reaching worldwide with a focus on conflict zones and war-torn countries. Headquartered in the UK, G+ remains strong in its commitment to rebuilding and supporting post-war communities worldwide.

We have over 100,000 active registered members across 20 countries that include young leaders, experts, and professionals. Our advisory panel consists of brilliant individuals with extensive background in politics, non-profit and CSOs, military, higher education, private sector, and civil society.

We believe that equipping youth with essential skills and knowledge empowers them to build and sustain global peace, work collaboratively towards a shared vision, and create a positive impact in their societies.
Understanding the rapidly changing means of communication today, G+ is currently working to incorporate AI and modern technologies to expand its reach to millions of youths around the world.

Vision

A free and peaceful world where global collaboration, sustainable development, and democratic values are upheld.


Mission

Our mission is to identify, mobilize, and nurture young leaders by providing access to quality education, capacity building, and facilitating collaborative work toward a shared vision. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to empower youth to implement impactful
