The aim of this article is to investigate the aspects of youth capability that is linked to sustainable development of the society. In the article, the authors analyse the quantitative data gathered during the research “Solidarity Schools in the Baltic States” (2014)1 about the attitude of Latvian, Estonian and Lithuanian school youth towards the aspects of sustainable development and their actions in promoting of sustainable development. Considering the common historical and socio-cultural experience of the Baltic States, it can be assumed that the influence of the present transformation processes on the youth is similar. The results of the research show that in contrast with the assumption the study of youth capability reveals both the similarities and statistically significant differences in the values and actions of the young generation in Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania.
