The article explores the critical part that youth activism plays in fostering social change within the current modern context. The research investigates how young activists have significantly influenced the process of altering social norms, political discourse, and cultural paradigms. This study thoroughly investigates the numerous facets and significance of youth activism in the modern day based on a thorough analysis of academic literature, empirical research, and practical examples. The study begins by looking at the development of young activism across time, placing it in relation to earlier social movements and highlighting its potential to change with the times. This remark emphasizes how social media platforms, in particular, have facilitated the capacity of young activists to connect, organize, and increase the reach of their messages on a global scale. The article also discusses the broad range of issues that young activists support, including gender parity, racial justice, and climate change, as well as the underlying causes that motivate them.
