neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: In context, 'youth organizer' could be inaccurate. My initial reading of this term is in line with your first referencces whereas it wld need a fair bit of rephrasing to make it clear this is about political activism.
4 hrs
  -> You may have noted that most of my references are from political activism contexts. "Youth organiser" is the term I always used when I was a political activist.
