News Decoder

Help us empower the changemakers of tomorrow

Today’s world is more interconnected and complex than ever, yet it’s also more divided and polarized. Extremist views, culture wars, political populism and attacks on democracy are growing and ideological divides are making it harder to tackle global challenges like the climate crisis.

When News Decoder began in 2015, our founding belief was that young people could transcend the role of passive information consumers to become powerful knowledge producers and agents of change. Over the past decade, we have demonstrated not only that this vision is possible but how it can be achieved. Our unique combination of journalism skills training, cross-border dialogue and intercultural exchange has proven a transformative force for empowering young people to be informed, engaged citizens capable of addressing challenges in their local communities and engaging in dialogue on the national even global stage.

As we enter a critical moment for democracy worldwide, our work is more urgent than ever.

To sustain our mission and build a bridge to our next decade, we need your help to raise $50,000 to take News Decoder forward to its next decade. Help us amplify a movement to combat polarization by deepening global understanding among young people, guiding them to understand — and engage with — our complex world.

This month, every donation received by December 31st will be MATCHED by a generous anonymous donor — giving your contribution twice the impact. All gifts are tax-deductible in the United States.

Your support today isn't just a gift. It's an investment in a generation of thoughtful, empowered global citizens who will safeguard democracy.

This is a moment we can’t miss. Every contribution is a catalyst for change.

Thank you.
