Shape Northern Ireland’s Future

Young people in Northern Ireland can begin shaping our future today and we’re here to help.

Uniting UK’s Young Leaders initiative is a great way for pro-Union young people to get together, hear from interesting speakers, discuss policy and get campaigning.

We’re seeking to partner with other groups of pro-Union young people. By working together, we can amplify our voices, cultivate innovative ideas, and lay a solid foundation for a brighter tomorrow, united in purpose and vision.
