Since its founding, PSU has been recognized for its commitment to youth-led action including receiving top honors in the 2017 Education in Emergencies Global Competition and continues to gain international recognition for its community-driven approach.

What started as a small group of young refugees learning to organize and speak up has grown into a trusted community organization that supports youth leadership, digital inclusion, and well-being.

At PSU, we believe that when youth are trusted, supported, and given opportunities, they become capable and confident leaders who drive meaningful change in their own communities.

PSU creates safe spaces where young people from refugee and local communities can connect, learn, and lead together.
