Our age doesn't define our ability to create change. 

We are a tribe of young activists, artists and musicians from across the globe stepping up as leaders to co-create the future we know is possible. We are the ones we've been waiting for!

We Rise, We Vote

Join us in our campaign to increase young voter participation in the United States. More than 4 million young people turn 18 between the 2016 elections and this year's. We are the future.

The Education Amplifier program We The Future provides an opportunity for educators to bring Amplifier’s art, lesson plans and resources into classrooms across the country to facilitate dialogue about social justice issues.

With over 2,500 registered teachers in every state of the U.S., Amplifier's 2017 pilot program brought topics around privilege, identity, addressing racism and teaching tolerance into schools.

Through a monthly webinar, resource email, free art and lesson plans built in collaboration with partners to bring this work into the classrooms, Amplifier is providing critical and requested support to help teachers inspire the future leaders of our country.

Earth Guardians Youth Director Xiuhtezcatl Martinez is one of the ten young leaders depicted in the icons artwork being shared to inspire the next generation of young leaders. Earth Guardians is working in collaboration with Amplifier to bring our own curriculum to over 20,000 schools.


Spread the word, support the work and get the free art and resources if you’re a teacher!

"The future of our generation is at stake"

-Earth Guardian & YouthvGov plaintiff Victoria Barrett

"People label our generation as dreamers, but hope is not the only tool we have. I am a teenager. I want to do what I love and live a life full of opportunities. I want the generation that follows to have the same chance. I absolutely refuse to let our government's harmful action, corporate greed, and the pure denial of climate science get in the way of that. If anything, I'm going to use my positive energy to show my government that I won't let my world stop for them. WE won't let our world stop for them. Our generation will continue to be a force for the world."
