PASSING THE TORCH.

“Engage us.” “Challenge us.” “Ignite us.”

It’s the rallying cry of a new generation of over 10,000 WiFi enabled, socially-networked youth leaders seeking to make a difference in a world that has grown smaller, closer, and more intertwined than it has ever been before.

Ignitus Worldwide expands upon the mission established by Youth Crime Watch of America in 1979, empowering young people with the knowledge, confidence and courage to take control of their own destiny, and shape their own world.

Harnessing everything we’ve learned over three decades, Ignitus Worldwide unites the global youth community through service learning, character education, substance abuse prevention, peer mentoring (in partnership with Big Brothers & Big Sisters), and the green schools movement. But this is only the beginning. The plan is to constantly evolve and adapt to the needs of each generation.

By preparing today’s young people to be active and engaged members of their communities, Ignitus is laying the foundation for them to become active and engaged adults.
