Would this youth human rights nonprofit idea be impactful and worth pursuing?
Hi! I’m a 17-year-old senior from Indiana developing a national youth-led human rights nonprofit focused on empowering underserved and displaced youth through education, storytelling, and advocacy training—giving them the tools to speak for themselves. Im trying to fill a growing gap in schools and communities: while STEM is prioritized, human rights and civics education are often ignored. Millions of young people grow up without knowing their basic rights—or how to protect them. Even in developed nations, marginalized youth (immigrants, foster children, and minorities) rarely receive legal literacy—and when abuse or injustice happens, reporting systems are confusing, unsafe, or in another language. My nonprofit would focus on things like bringing rights education to schools, shelters, refugee centers, and communities. Giving youth a platform to share their own stories, instead of being covered by journalists. Connecting youth with scholarships, legal aid info, and mental health resources. Also training students to teach rights education and lead advocacy programs. Before launching, I’d love to know from mentors and professionals: Does this sound like a mission you’d want to support or volunteer with? What makes a nonprofit like this stand out or succeed long-term? Any advice on making this idea realistic and scalable? Thank you so much for your feedback—it means a lot as I work to build something that helps youth everywhere find their voice and know their rights.
What type of certifications to navigate a career in crisis prevention?
I have just an associates in marketing management and I would like to know what additional certifications in or centered around ( crisis prevention) ? I want to possibly work with planned parenthood and or similar programs. My passion is lowering numbers of single parent homes AND ADVOCATE the outcomes of children and young adults that were raised in dysfunctional upbringings. There is a direct impact of children and young adults that grow up with dysfunctional single mothers/fathers that couldn't provide them with certain tools AND give them a negative outlook on themselves and the real world affecting their way of functioning in society. It's important to lower the numbers of children/young adults that are force to live a dysfunctional life due to parents who are not ready to be healthy fulfilling parents. This is my passion and goal. I just don't know how to get there and make it into a career with just an associates marketing degree and no certifications ( as of yet) I'm also open to volunteering and interning.
