We are a innovative youth-led​ think tank.

Youths are the key for the future; they will be ​the ones who will get the countless benefits ​and innovations made by the generations of ​the past and today.

Yet, they will also inherit the countless ​problems plaguing our world: climate change, ​inequalities, wars, to name just a few.

So, is the world ready to welcome the next ​generation? Our institute is here to answer ​that.

We advocate for youths to be valid​ stakeholders in politics.

We advocate for youths to be valid ​stakeholders in politics, recognizing their ​unique perspectives and essential ​contributions.

By championing policies and platforms that ​amplify youth voices, we strive to create an ​inclusive political landscape that values and ​empowers the next generation.

We engage with diverse policymakers and ​institutions, particularly the United Nations ​System to bring system-wide, institutional, and ​international stakeholder recognition of ​youths.

We conduct in-depth policy ​research to drive youth activism.

We are dedicated to empowering youth as ​essential stakeholders in the political arena.

Through rigorous policy research, we aim to ​drive youth activism and ensure that young ​voices are heard and respected.

We encourage youths to use us as a platform ​to spread their thoughts, opinions, and ideas ​through evidence-based, academic advocacy.

We assist other youth organisations ​to engage with policymakers.

Driving meaningful change, especially in ​complex and large institutions like the United ​Nations as a youth organisation is hard.

We’re here to help youth organisations ​navigate the process of how they could engage ​with the UN, from ECOSOC Consultative ​Status to attending and speaking in UN ​conferences and forums.

We are different.

We are different. Unlike many think tanks that remain distant from the communities they serve, the Katija ​Hyoungjoo Neuber Institute actively engages with youth at the grassroots level.

We ask you to support us.

For youths, for humanity, for earth.

At the Katija Hyoungjoo Neuber Institute, we empower young people as essential stakeholders in the political arena ​through rigorous policy research and advocacy. Join us in this mission by giving, volunteering, or contributing to our ​research efforts. Your support is crucial in creating a better future for all.
