Young Citizens is a UK charity based in London, England, established in 1989 by Lord Phillips OBE and democracy education experts. It supports schools and colleges in delivering interactive citizenship education for children and young people, offering ready-made lesson plans and immersive programmes that integrate both curriculum-aligned and flexible learning experiences. Serving educational institutions as its primary audience, the organization aims to help students understand and participate in democracy and civic life, with programs that bring citizenship to life for thousands of learners each year. Recent developments include partnerships and leadership appointments aimed at expanding its national education initiatives, such as The Big Democracy Lesson and the appointment of a new Honorary President.
