Who We Are
C.I.A.J. WORLD YOUTH ALLIANCE is an Atlanta-based Christian nonprofit, 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt corporation established in 1991 to empower youth for local citizenship and global citizenship through cultural awareness initiatives, youth leadership training, travel, education, and community service.
World Youth Alliance serves a multi-cultural diverse group of youth through four independent initiatives, which serve to:
Offer INNOVATIVE LEADERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT TRAINING utilizing leadership laboratories with global and environmental simulations to enhance youth leadership training. PROMOTE CULTURAL AWARENESS INITIATIVES AND HEIGHTEN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE through summits, cultural education, and educational travel at local, national, and international levels. MOBILIZE, EMPOWER AND COMMISSION a cadre of self-directed youth to serve and represent their communities as 'Global Ambassadors' committed to global citizenship. CREATE A YOUTH ALLIANCE with other local and global youth-serving organizations to raise awareness of social issues best addressed by youth.
World Youth Alliance operating philosophy is that an educated, culturally and spiritually exposed youth with a constituency base can best:
Enlist the support of other youth to enhance cultural awareness initiatives. Promote understanding between youth to foster global citizenship. Stimulate the present and future development of dynamic social change through effective youth leadership training.
Exposure through local, national, and international travel is a key component of the WYA initiatives. It has been stated that...
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page."
-St. Augustine
