You may be wondering who's behind Youthink! and what our motivation is. A group of young people at the World Bank created this web site in response to your questions about development. We work to make sure the issues that matter most to you are explored right here.
Our goal is to help you stay in touch with the issues that shape our world. We're not telling you what to think; we're offering another perspective and the latest facts. You need to decide how you are going to make a difference in your community and your world.
So you may be asking, "How can I get involved?" Please start by telling us what Youthink! about our world, and what you want to know more about. We hope you like this site, and we look forward to hearing from you soon!
