Welcome!

Global LEAD (Leadership and Education Advancing Development) is a USAID-led collaborative initiative aiming to mobilize one million young leaders to guide their countries’ progress on the key challenges of our time, including human rights, climate action, global health, and violence prevention.

USAID, through Global LEAD, advances these issues by creating more opportunities for young people’s participation and leadership in their communities, and by supporting one million youth and emerging leaders through youth networks like YouthLead.

We want to see more integration of education, civic/political engagement, and leadership development approaches across all sectors of development programming, because young people are, can, and should be partners in development.

If you are interested in enhancing opportunities for young people to play a stronger role in community development, this Global LEAD Toolkit is a great resource for you. Here you will find:

  • Key resources to help you plan a new activity, including tips and tools for design; measurement, evaluation, and learning; and communications;
  • Intervention models that can be adapted to different contexts and types of programs;
  • A breakdown of useful resources and program examples by sector;
  • Information on connecting with networks and communities of practice to elevate young people in development;
  • Ideas and approaches for successful youth engagement.

Use the buttons above to navigate the Toolkit, or click here for the complete toolkit.

Learn more about Global LEAD in this short video introduction, or visit the About Global LEAD section of this toolkit to find additional information and resources related to this initiative.
