Join our youth leadership programme and explore how you can bring about positive change for people, animals and the planet.
Have you ever slept under a starry sky? Have you ever used a drill or a handsaw? Have you cooked with edible flowers like dandelions and made a meal for the community? Have you ever felt your creativity and imagination can make an impact through poems, photos, performances and songs?
Whether you care about nature or social justice, whether you want to make new friends, build new skills and confidence, whether you want to figure out what you’re passionate about, at Global Generation we want to inspire you in a journey of discovery about yourself, your community and the Planet.
In the magic of our co-created spaces, we garden, cook, build, eat and tell stories together. We pause and slow down. We talk, share ideas and grow together. We embrace differences and we dream of a just and greener world.
Through our youth leadership programmes, you will work with local businesses, universities, artists, ecologists, theatre companies, go on summer camps, take part in volunteering opportunities and gain valuable experience also for your DoE, UCAS and CV.
“My social action has empowered me and has made me realise my voice is the most powerful thing I have.”

Discover what young people have enjoyed and learnt from being a Generator
“The programme has installed in my son a sense of belonging in a community, a love for nature and wanting to protect the environment”
Join the Paper Garden Generators
Are you (or a young person you know) aged between 11-17? We are currently recruiting for our 2026 Generators Youth Leadership Cohort at the Paper Garden. Since 2017, these workshops and programmes have provided young people with opportunities to grow food, grow themselves, grow their community and positively impact the environment for a just world. Our programme is great for CVs, curriculum links, work experience, and Duke Of Edinburgh volunteering
