Initiatives

The Global Youth Coalition for Road Safety is a united force of young individuals from around the world who are passionately dedicated to road safety. It’s made up of gifted, talented, and enthusiastic youth advocates for safer mobility systems who, through various spaces, actively engage with decision-makers at national and global levels. Committing to meaningful youth participation, the coalition empowers young leaders to speak up. It equips them with the knowledge, tools and resources to demand and deliver road safety solutions to reduce road traffic crashes worldwide.

Youth involved in our actions

Built on 16+ years of award-winning capacity development, the YOURS Academy offers six interactive, evidence-based modules and optional workshops. It’s scalable, flexible, and credible, aligned with SDGs and Vision Zero, so youth and institutional teams gain practical tools, templates, and certificates to deliver safer mobility.

Proven in practice: in the Link4All project (Philippines), youth completed three Academy modules ahead of a two-day summit shaping the Western Visayas Road Safety Action Plan.

In-country actions

YOURS (Youth for Road Safety) engages in impactful in-country actions to promote road safety among young people. YOURS designs and implements initiatives tailored to specific regions through partnerships with local organisations and government agencies. These actions often include educational campaigns in schools, colleges, and communities, advocating for safe road behaviours, helmet and seatbelt use, and fostering awareness of road safety hazards. YOURS also conducts workshops, seminars, and community events, empowering youth to be advocates for change. By addressing local road safety challenges, YOURS, in-country actions significantly contribute to creating safer roads and protecting lives in communities worldwide.
