Co-Creating Change. Centering Youth. Shifting Systems.
We don’t just work for young people. We work with them—to lead change now.
At MAGREY Consulting, we believe young people aren’t just the leaders of tomorrow—they’re the drivers of bold solutions today. Too often, they’re asked to wait their turn or carry the burden of fixing problems they didn’t create. We challenge that narrative by partnering with youth as innovators, researchers, strategists, and builders of more just, inclusive systems—right now.
Founded by Magdalena Fulton, a global youth development strategist with over two decades of experience, MAGREY blends deep technical expertise with a sharp systems lens and a commitment to equity. From co-designing solutions with youth in conflict-affected regions to influencing policy at the highest levels, our work bridges grassroots energy with institutional reach.
MAGREY was born out of deep respect and inspiration—sparked by the countless young changemakers and youth-serving organizations we’ve partnered with around the world, and by the two young people who inspire me most every day: my children, Magnolia and Jeffrey. They constantly remind me what’s possible when young people are believed in, supported, and truly heard.
What sets MAGREY apart?
If you’re ready to move beyond tokenism, break silos, and build lasting change with youth at the center—you’re in the right place.
“I don’t want to be a token voice at the table. I want to be a partner in shaping the table itself.”
— Aya Chebbi, former African Union Youth Envoy
Global Impact, Local Roots: Partnering for Youth-Powered Change
At MAGREY Consulting, we believe true global impact starts with local youth leadership. Across the world, youth-led and youth-serving organizations are already creating bold solutions—but too often, they’re under-resourced, overburdened, and left out of decision-making spaces.
That’s where MAGREY comes in.
We partner with youth-centered organizations to help them scale their impact on their own terms. We provide strategic support, capacity building, and connections to funders, policymakers, and global networks—so locally rooted, youth-led development can thrive.
And our partnerships are never transactional. When you work with MAGREY, you gain a long-term ally. We’re here for the mission, the movement, and the people behind it.
Because youth aren’t a sector—they’re the thread that runs through every aspect of development. From climate resilience to mental well-being, governance to economic growth—there’s no solution without youth at the center.
If you believe youth-powered solutions should be resourced, respected, and scaled—let’s build it together.
The Youth Advantage
Because no challenge facing our world today can be solved without young people at the center.
With over 1.9 billion people aged 10–24, this is the largest, most diverse, most connected generation in human history. Young people are already leading movements, reshaping economies, building peace, driving climate action, and reimagining what is possible. They are not just the future—they are the now.
And yet, they remain underrepresented in decision-making spaces, underfunded in development investments, and too often relegated to symbolic participation. That’s not just unjust—it’s a missed opportunity.
At MAGREY Consulting, we believe youth are the greatest force multiplier in global development. When young people are meaningfully engaged—not as tokens, but as partners—solutions become more innovative, more inclusive, and more sustainable.
We also know that youth are a cross-cutting demographic: every global issue—whether it’s education, mental health, employment, civic trust, climate resilience, or governance—starts and ends with young people. Centering them isn’t a niche strategy. It’s the path to real, scalable, systems-level progress.
But youth can’t do it alone.
They need space. They need resources.
They need partners who trust them—and invest in them.
We exist to help organizations, donors, and governments design and deliver youth-centered solutions that are grounded in evidence, driven by equity, and rooted in local realities—while tapping into the strength of a united global movement.
This is not charity. This is strategy.
This is not symbolic. This is essential.
This is youth-powered development. And we’re here to help lead it—together.
The Transformative Power of Positive Youth Development
Now more than ever, we need to radically reimagine how we engage with young people—not as passive recipients of aid or future leaders-in-waiting, but as full partners in driving sustainable change.
Positive Youth Development (PYD) is more than a framework. It's a mindset—and a movement—that recognizes the strengths, assets, and agency of young people. When done right, it transforms not only the lives of youth, but the systems around them: from education and employment to governance, mental well-being, and climate action.
But this transformation doesn’t happen in isolation.
It takes all of us—local youth organizations, governments, donors, foundations, schools, private sector allies, and civil society partners—to build ecosystems where young people can thrive and lead. At MAGREY, we catalyze this collective action. We bring people together across sectors and silos to co-create scalable, youth-driven solutions that are grounded in equity, systems thinking, and real-world impact.
We don’t position ourselves as the hero. We’re the guide on the side.
Whether you're looking to launch a new youth initiative, embed youth voice in your strategy, or scale what’s already working—we help you design and deliver with intention, clarity, and youth at the forefront.
