Join us on 2 June 2026 for Power of Youth Day, led by the #iWill Movement.


This year’s theme, Common Ground, comes at a time when the world can feel increasingly polarised. It is a collective response, celebrating what unites us. Across the UK, organisations are creating space for young people to shape decisions, lead change and build stronger communities. That shared commitment is where Common Ground is found.

For Power of Youth Day 2026, the #iWill Movement is inviting organisations to step forward and show how they are turning belief into action. It is a chance to demonstrate how you are embedding youth voice and leadership through the Power of Youth Charter.

The #iWill Movement is delivered in partnership with UK Youth, bringing together organisations across the country to champion youth social action and drive change.

This page will soon become your go-to place for campaign assets, guidance and inspiration. In the meantime, you can find out more and get involved via the #iWill website.

The groundwork is being laid. The movement is building. Get ready.
