These groups provide tailored spaces for members to engage with allies on key themes, while maintaining a global perspective within the Cohort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the YDC Working Groups?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The current Working Groups bring together member organisations from the same regions and are managed by dedicated Community Managers (CMs). These groups offer members the opportunity to engage directly with peers and leaders, enhancing their advocacy efforts and building an organic sense of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By joining these communities, members and\/or YDC supporters will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be the first to know about YDC&rsquo;s activities, events, and funding opportunities related to their regions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contribute to concrete regional advocacy efforts.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect informally with others who share their commitment to advancing youth political participation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While the initial Working Groups are regional, the YDC team aims to expand, creating groups focused on themes like gender, digital rights, and shrinking civic space. Members interested in leading such groups are encouraged to contact the YDC team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meet the Community Managers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each geographical area is led by experienced Community Managers (CM), who play a vital role in creating and maintaining these communities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Africa and MENA:<\/strong> Oliver and Shirley from <em>Youth Caf&eacute;<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Afrique (Francophone):<\/strong> Alpha from <em>Ouvrir les Horizons<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Americas:<\/strong> Alejandra and Olga from <em>Alma C&iacute;vica<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Asia-Pacific:<\/strong> Jiwan from <em>Blind Youth Association Nepal<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These organisations, supported by YDC through advocacy grants in the past, bring a wealth of experience and insight to their roles. They are instrumental in shaping the success of the Working Groups.&nbsp; By leveraging their expertise and networks, the CMs ensure these communities remain dynamic, inclusive, and impactful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Join the YDC WhatsApp Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Join the YDC WhatsApp Community and become part of a global movement for youth political participation.
