The Young Humanitarian Handbook

Downloads

The Young Humanitarian Handbook has been designed for all young people who are currently, or may in the future, be engaged in humanitarian action. It answers four key questions that every young humanitarian may ask:

  • “How can I deliver services to those most in need?” 
  • “How can I get my voice heard when decisions are being made?” 
  • “How (and where) can I grow my skills and knowledge?” 
  • “How do I access the resources you need?” 

Packed with practical tips, self-care advice, and inspiring stories from young humanitarians around the world, the handbook is your go-to resource, whether you're new to humanitarian action or already involved. 

We hope the Young Humanitarian Handbook will be a valuable tool in your journey as a young humanitarian leader.
