The Gulen Institute encourages all high school students from the U.S. and from around the world in the Youth Platform because it:

• Helps young minds define problems related to stable peace and social harmony, discuss them, and offer possible solutions from their own perspectives

• Contributes to achieving a positive impact on society by building social skills

• Helps students improve research and writing skills that are so essential prior to college years

• Is a lifetime opportunity for students to exchange ideas with their peers both from national and global levels
