The ForYouPage.Org Manifesto
A Movement of Youth Agency and Collective Flourishing
Preamble
We, the youth of ForYouPage.Org (FYP), stand at a pivotal moment in history, amidst a mental health crisis, growing digital isolation and loss of power. We watch our agency slip away, our voices fade into algorithms, our well-being reduced to metrics. Yet in this moment of challenge, we declare our power to reshape our world—not through grand gestures, but through the radical act of supporting each other to be fiercely ourselves and take charge of our communities.
Our Vision
We create a world where every youth discovers their power to flourish and help others flourish, where every youth has the collective resources, resilience, and power to be a changemaker in their own community, to bring happiness to those that we love. Where authenticity triumphs over conformity, agency overcomes powerlessness, and compassion bridges our differences. Where each community defines and pursues its own path to collective well-being. Where what we do for ourselves and what we do for others become one.
Our Core Values
Agency: People first. The power to create change lies within us. We prioritize personal well-being over systems as the foundation of collective power. Through youth supporting youth, local wisdom drives global impact. Our growth and our communities' growth are inseparable.
Authenticity: Being our true selves is revolutionary. Our boundaries are non-negotiable. Our struggles and victories, equally worthy of being shared, inspire others. Real change starts with being honest about who we are and being real about whom we could become.
Compassion: All people are fundamentally kind. We bridge divides through non-violent communication. Understanding opposition transforms conflict into connection. Every culture holds wisdom about nurturing human flourishing.
Openness: Knowledge is free. Transparency builds trust. Our differences in beliefs, identities, and approaches light the way forward. What we learn, we share. What we build, we share.
Fun: Joy is resistance. Humor connects us. Being young is our superpower. In party, we find sustainability.

Call to Action
To every youth feeling powerless in the face of crisis, to every advocate working in isolation, to every changemaker seeking community: You belong here.
Together, we are building more than an organization. We are creating a new way of being – where personal flourishing drives collective change, where local wisdom shapes global movements, where youth lead the transformation of our world.
Join us in proving that authenticity, agency, and compassion always triumph. The future isn't something that happens to us. It's something we create, together, starting with ourselves and our communities.
Be fierce. Be you. Be the change.
