About Teen IGF

A global, teen-led movement building the next generation of digital policy leaders — through dialogue, education, and collaboration.

Our Story

Teen IGF began with a simple observation: teenagers are among the internet’s most active users, yet rarely have a seat at the table when digital policy is shaped. A small group of teen advocates set out to change that.

Today, Teen IGF connects 1,500+ members across 20+ countries, running forums, workshops, and dialogues that feed directly into the global Internet Governance Forum ecosystem.
