EAA Advocacy Program 2025

Do you have the desire to create sustainable, positive change in the world? EAA is calling for aspiring youth to advocate for the rights to education of every child and youth around the world.

IT ALL STARTS WITH YOU.

In achieving its mission, EAA believes young people are not only the beneficiaries of its work but also key agents in finding solutions and bringing positive change to the world. Education Above All (EAA) is committed to empowering young changemakers who are passionate about promoting education as a fundamental human right.

The EAA Youth Advocacy Program identifies, supports, and elevates youth advocates who demonstrate leadership, commitment, and creativity in advancing education in their communities and beyond.

Selected youth advocates will have training opportunities for advocacy skills as well as opportunities to participate in forums and youth networks, and on social media platforms on the national, regional and global levels to advocate for the right to education representing the voice of children and youth.

Applications are open to young people (age 15-30 years old).

The selection process is designed to be inclusive, transparent, and merit-based and will involve 3 key stages:

Short listing
Interviews
Final selection and onboarding

Applications will only be open until June 20th, so don’t miss this opportunity.

We will count on your swift replies to ensure equal opportunity to all.
