17 STRANDS is a reflective guide for youth on systemic leadership towards a greener and sustainable world. While global leaders debate solutions, youth changemakers are quietly and consistently making an impact in their communities. The book's purpose is to not only celebrate changemakers, but to alsoremind our global leaders that hope is local, to also bridge youthactions in their community to global change and to raiseawareness about sustainability and youth leadership. This is done in order to inspire a new generation of thoughtful and compassionate leaders who are humanely connected to their community.
This book humanizes global policies into personal narratives of young change-makers, while drawing on my personal experience as a youth ambassador of UNMGCY as well as the stories of other changemakers from various countries. In hopes of simplifying and personalizing jargon driven SDGs, this book recontextualizes policy within the lived-experience of different communities.
When readers close the book, they will walk away more enlightened and attentive to the sustainable development goals. They will know that they have the permission to act imperfectly and empathetically towards those goals. The ultimate purpose of the book is to remind young change makers that no impact is too small and they are not alone.
