Are you 14-24 years old?

You don’t have to wait to change the world.

You have ideas. You have energy. You have a voice.

At Mary’s Meals, we believe young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow. You are leaders today. And when you use your creativity, courage, and compassion, you can help change the story for children around the world.

Mary’s Meals provides daily school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest communities. These meals help bring children into the classroom, where they can learn, grow, and dream of a brighter future.

Now it’s your turn to be part of the movement.

Start where you are

A movement doesn’t have to begin with thousands of people. It can start with one idea, one school, one youth group, one team, or one circle of friends.

You could:

• Host a fundraiser
• Organize a film screening
• Start a school or campus challenge
• Sell handmade items or baked goods
• Run, walk, bike, dance, or play for meals
• Use your social media to raise awareness
• Invite your friends, class, team, or club to take action

Small acts can make a big difference.

Make it yours

Your movement should reflect who you are and what makes you come alive.

Love sports? Create a tournament.
Love art? Host an exhibit or sale.
Love music? Plan a benefit concert.
Love social media? Launch an awareness campaign.
Love bringing people together? Organize an event in your school, church, campus, or community.

There is no one right way to help. The best idea is the one you’re excited to lead.
