Our Youth Panel

The launch of something exciting and new…

HI Youth Panel will bring together young changemakers who are passionate about travel, sustainability, and cultural exchange to help shape the future of hostelling.  

The panel will focus on key themes such as: 

Sustainability – Promoting responsible and eco-friendly travel.

Diversity & Inclusion – Making hostelling accessible for everyone. 

Through discussions, collaborations, and initiatives, the panel will play a key role in developing ideas that enhance the hostelling experience globally. Their voices, insights, and projects will contribute to shaping HI’s projects, improving sustainability efforts, and ensuring hostelling remains a space for meaningful travel experiences.

At Hostelling International, we believe that young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow—they are the changemakers of today. That’s why we are thrilled to launch the HI Youth Panel, a global initiative that puts youth voices at the heart of our mission. This panel has been a few years in the making: it will bring together passionate, diverse young minds from around the world to help shape the future of hostelling and sustainable travel.
Today on the International Day for Youth, we celebrate their energy, creativity, and commitment to building a more inclusive and connected world. We can’t wait to see where their ideas take us.
