Who we are
YourCommonwealth.org is a website created and crafted by young people, students and emerging youth leaders. It is a platform for the voices of young people from Commonwealth countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Americas, Europe and the Pacific to be heard.
What we do
Our young correspondents who are aged 15-29 exchange perspectives on events happening in their country or community or issues that affect young people around the world, such as poverty or climate change. Find out more about our current Commonwealth Correspondents and read their articles online.
The website was established by the Commonwealth Secretariat through the Commonwealth Youth Programme and is independently edited by Clare Keizer, an experienced journalist and publisher.
YourCommonwealth.org was named ‘Communicator of the Year’ in the 2012 Nexus Commonwealth Awards.
