youth activist
Teenage change-seeker
A youth activist is a young person who campaigns for political or social change.
The term typically applies to teenagers and young adults involved in causes like climate action, gun control, or civil rights: Greta Thunberg became the world's most recognizable youth activist.
The phrase often carries positive connotations of idealism and energy, though critics sometimes use it dismissively to suggest naivety.
