Understanding GRYN’s Mission
GRYN is a unique global network designed for and by refugee youth leaders, focusing on empowering young refugees around the world. By providing a platform where refugee youth can share their experiences and challenges, GRYN seeks to inspire them to take meaningful action within their own communities. As a refugee-led organization, GRYN is well attuned to the specific needs of its members, recognizing the distinct strengths and hurdles that young refugees face.
Supporting Youth-Led Initiatives
The work of GRYN centers on supporting and strengthening youth-led initiatives at the community level. This support encompasses both formal and informal efforts, providing essential resources such as funding, capacity building, and networking opportunities. By facilitating connections between young refugees and various organizations, GRYN aims to foster a supportive environment that encourages the sharing of ideas and experiences.
Amplifying Refugee Voices
One of the fundamental goals of GRYN is to amplify the voices of refugee youth on issues that matter most to them. The organization actively engages in policy advocacy, working to raise awareness about the specific needs of refugee youth, thereby differentiating them from children and adults in similar situations. Collaborating with established networks like the Compact for Young People in Humanitarian Action, GRYN taps into collective knowledge to ensure that refugee youth are recognized and their perspectives valued.
