PUTTING YOUTH LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATION AT THE CENTRE OF THE UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
YMCA is deepening its commitment to young people leading global change. The Youth-Led Solutions Initiative elevates young leaders to tackle the world's biggest issues. Connecting together like-minded individuals from around the world to build the skills and solutions necessary to take action in your communities.
​
Each round launches with a Summit and then invites groups of young leaders to form a 'Solution Team' in their communities, or across geographical boundaries. After the Summit each team is connected with critical resources, and becomes eligible to apply for seed-funding for new or existing solutions to innovate, adapt, evolve or scale ideas!
Develop an international network and dialogue around creating solutions to the world's biggest challenges.
Inspire young leaders to design and implement solutions in their local communities.
Equip young leaders to be multipliers who empower others to create action-orientated solutions.
