The largest generation of young people in history is here, and they are ready to lead. Potential alone is not enough. When young people have the power to participate and the means to build their futures, they do more than thrive. They transform economies, reimagine societies, and drive systemic change. The future is not something they are waiting for. It is something they are shaping right now.Michael Mapstone, CEO, Anglo American Foundation
