"We envision a world in which young people in every nation are actively engaged in improving their lives
  and their communities through civic participation. Beyond attending school or looking for work, we see
       average eighteen-year olds around the world sharing the common experience of tackling the most
                   entrenched problems in their communities and entering into adult life empowered to
                          find ways to be part of the solution." Susan Stroud, Executive Director, ICP
