Who We Are

Backed by the First Freedom Foundation, FoRB’s Future is a community of 1,200 young leaders in 82 countries who believe that freedom of religion or belief is the foundation of every human right — and worth defending.

This community is not for everyone. It is for those whose convictions are strong enough to defend freedom of conscience for all — even their enemies — and are willing to stand against their own to uphold the right to be wrong, choosing respect over rage, dialogue over division, love over hate — not from weakness, but from deep strength.

If you are a peacemaker in this polarized world, welcome. We stand with you.

What We Do

Connect

Find belonging beyond borders and beliefs.

Meet young advocates from other countries at our monthly FoRB Forum Live and our Global Youth Summits. Between events, share ideas, ask questions, and stay in touch through our online FoRB Forum.

Learn

Grow into the kind of leader your convictions demand.

Join regular trainings and webinars on religious freedom. In a rapid-response simulation, you can practice how you’d respond when someone’s freedom is threatened.

Act

Turn conviction into courage — and courage into impact.

Our members bring religious freedom concerns to UN discussions, meet with human rights leaders, and support youth-led projects through seed grants.
