YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A GROWN UP TO CHANGE THE WORLD

Nazım Hikmet, Elvis Presley, William Lawrence Bragg, and Malala Yousafzayi… Just a few names among those who made history at a very young age. But there are many more whose names you haven’t heard—yet. Let us introduce you to them.

Are “grown-ups” the only ones who can solve society’s problems? Social responsibility isn’t something reserved for large institutions. With good intentions and hard work, even young people can make a big impact.

While society doesn’t always give them the credit they deserve, the Community Volunteers Foundation (TOG) creates countless opportunities for youth. As a non-governmental organization operating in 80 provinces, partnering with 129 youth organizations, and completing over 9,000 projects, TOG is powered by more than 400,000 young volunteers.

To mark its 10th anniversary, we created a promotional film that tells the stories of some of these inspiring young individuals—showing how they’re working to build a better Turkey.

We partnered with director Emre Başaran to celebrate both TOG and the young changemakers behind it. The film not only honors their efforts but also shines a spotlight on the remarkable results they’ve achieved.
