Compassion in Action is a movement and community of young people working to create a happy, just and flourishing world. Students and youth have always been at the forefront of changing the world, and today’s rising generation knows that our challenges are interconnected and that we need inner and outer change. In partnership with young people and adult allies across North America, we are growing a network of next generation leaders who are waking up together and acting with compassion for the benefit of all.
