AWA is 100% youth-led. Here's who we are, and how you can join us.
AWA is 100% youth-led, from strategy to execution. Diversity isn't a talking point here, it's the engine of how we work.
At AWA, you grow through real contribution, not just time served. Every volunteer has a clear path from getting started to leading entire programs.
Where everyone starts. Learn how AWA works, get hands-on, and find your footing.
Take ownership of your own piece of the work, with more independence and trust.
Lead an entire project or workstream largely on your own.
Shape strategy for a whole area of AWA's work, not just your own projects.
Own the vision, the people, and the results for a whole part of the organization.
Moving up takes real experience, not just time. Each level has a minimum time in role, but reaching it is the starting point for the next step, not a guarantee.
Through our partnership with the Mental Health Youth Alliance, AWA runs sessions specifically for young changemakers navigating climate anxiety, because sustainable leadership requires personal resilience too.
Apply to become an AWA Ambassador and join a global network of young people building the future of water advocacy.
