International Youth Day 2025: Date, Theme, and Significance

International Youth Day, happening on August 12th, is a day to celebrate young people and their impact.

It encourages them to make the world a better place.

The UN created the day in 1999.

This year's theme is about how young people are already making a difference locally to reach global goals.

The day highlights how young people can help by raising awareness, pushing for change, creating new solutions, volunteering, and living sustainably.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the World Programme of Action for Youth.
