The Youth Mentorship Forum on Civic Innovation is led by youth for the youth, under the guidance and mentorship of Citizen TALES members. It provides a safe and open forum for youth interested in learning and the pursuit of humanistic and scientific inquiries revolving around civic spaces, ethics and civic responsibility. It aims to foster scientific curiosity, creativity, innovation and community-building, in order to prepare the future civic leaders and seekers of solutions to global challenges.
In collaboration with our mentors, we are organizing different initiatives so that we can become mentors for other youth in our communities and beyond. These include the following initiatives:
The Virtual Lecture series on Civic Spaces

So far we have hosted the following talks:
