4Good is Save the Children’s young leaders programme driven by children and young people with the support of adult mentors. The 4Good programme has a range of activities to help build and develop leadership skills and to ensure children and young people under the age of 18 have their say on issues that affect them.

Our vision is a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation.

Any school or community group can take part in Save the Children 4Good activities.
