Start an Amnesty youth group

We’re really excited that you’re interested in starting an Amnesty Youth Group.

You’ll soon discover the big difference our youth groups makes to its members, the wider school and those you campaign for. We provide all the materials and support you need. But do get in touch if you need help along the way.

Want to know what it's like to run a group? Hear from teachers who run groups in their schools in our short film I Talk Out: The Teacher's Cut. 

How to join

To engage as many young people as possible in the Amnesty movement, affiliations for youth groups will be FREE from 26 January 2026. While we transfer to this new process, please register your youth group for free via this form.

We will be in touch in the new year to formally affiliate you. If you have any questions, contact activism@amnesty.org.uk.

Getting started

We'll send you everything you need to set up your group, including eye-catching materials, campaign actions and information guides.

You can get going straight away with our Youth Activist Toolkit which includes the current campaign action to download, plus tried and tested guides on everything from planning your first meeting to lobbying politicians.
