We Imagine The Future.
Welcome to the Engine Room for the Future!
The Engine Room is a dynamic digital space – an open, unbranded, and independent global platform dedicated to empowering young people to shape the future.
Supported by Unlock the Future, this is where youth from around the world connect, create bold solutions, and lead transformative action on critical global issues. Until recently, our movement existed across scattered campaigns and temporary online spaces.
Having reached over 2 million young people globally, we realized the Engine Room needed a real, permanent home. In 2025, we made Discord our hub – a vibrant platform already embraced by young changemakers worldwide, enabling seamless, inclusive, and rapid collaboration without borders or bureaucracy.
Why the Engine Room?
The Engine Room supports young changemakers to directly influence policy discussions and global agendas, especially focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It meets young people where they are on issues that they care about, deepening values and engagement in the global system.
It is designed:
Action Groups.
The heart of the Engine Room is its Action Groups. Each group aligns with one of the five pillars of the SDGs to deliver a better world for current and future generations: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnerships.
Members choose the thematic area most meaningful to them, driving targeted projects and campaigns that shape our collective roadmap toward 2100.
