Youth movement

Youth movement

A youth movement is any attempt to organize individual young people into a unified identity. According to one organization, "A growing number of organizations and individuals are calling for a worldwide youth movement, built around information technology, political and social action, and other platforms." [(n.d.) [http://www.freechild.org/youthmovement.htm Youth Movements] The Freechild Project.] There are a seemingly infinite number of youth movements, both historical and contemporary in nature.
