Child Leaders

Across the world, millions of children face bonded labor, poverty, and limited
access to education. But change is possible because young voices are rising.

The Child Leadership Council (CLC) is a youth-led initiative uniting
passionate students from the United States and Pakistan. Together,
they’re standing up for those who can’t, breaking down barriers that keep
children from learning, growing, and dreaming.

Driven by courage, creativity, and connection, these young leaders are
taking bold steps to end bonded labor, fight poverty, and improve access
to education. United by a shared mission, they’re not waiting for the brighter
future, they’re creating it.
