Guardians of the Future
The world needs responsible young citizens” is the Antoine de Saint- Exupéry Youth Foundation’s motto. With an increasing number of young people living in unfavourable conditions, the need to teach them to be responsible for their actions, to live together and be a part of a community, to find fulfilment through their work and to become engaged model citizens has never been more evident.
The Foundation’s objective is to offer youth tangible support by helping them build better futures for themselves so that they participate actively in society and contribute to enriching the world.
Established in Paris in June 2009 by the Saint- Exupéry-d’Agay Estate (the heirs of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry), the Foundation’s mission is to engage, select, manage, finance and promote projects on a long-term bases – in domains including art, culture, education, health, and sport – and help young people develop self-confidence and understand the need to give meaning to their lives and their futures, which stem from local initiatives in favour of marginalised youth worldwide.
