At Inspiring Stories, we believe in the power of young people to create change. We're a Kiwi charity founded with a bold vision to back young people to change the world – creating a more inclusive and sustainable future with every generation. We're crew behind Festival for the Future – New Zealand's biggest leadership & innovation summit; The Impact Awards – celebrating New Zealand's most inspirational young changemakers with $30,000 in prizes across six major categories – climate, enterprise, inclusion, wellbeing, local, and global impact; and the Future Leaders programme, which provides year-round opportunities for young people in rural and provincial communities to build their leadership skills and make a difference in their backyard. Over the past decade we've built an impressive track record of programmes and partnerships, with a 13,000–strong tribe of alumni and supporters. Our Founder & CEO, Guy Ryan, was awarded Young New Zealander of the Year in 2015, and is an Edmund Hillary Fellow.
