Organizations often exclude young people from decisions affecting their futures. YLabs' Youth Leadership Cohort (YLC) bridges this gap, providing mentorship and paid experience in digital design and innovation to youth aged 16-25. Your support ensures emerging leaders are in a position to guide projects impacting health, education, and economic opportunities for thousands worldwide. Invest in youth today for lasting global change tomorrow.
Youth voices remain underrepresented in program design and global decision-making. Programs affecting their health, livelihoods, and futures frequently overlook their insights, leading to ineffective solutions. Additionally, a lack of paid opportunities and mentorship prevents talented youth from gaining essential skills and experience. Without intentional investment, we risk missing innovative solutions informed by young people's lived experience, diversity, and creativity.
YLabs Youth Leadership Cohort offers mentorship, paid participation, and hands-on training to emerging youth leaders. Each cohort member contributes 12 hours monthly, shaping social impact projects. Paired with experienced designers and researchers, they build critical career skills while directly influencing programs. By ensuring young people have more than just a seat at the table, we create inclusive, relevant, and impactful solutions that resonate authentically with young audiences globally.
Supporting the YLabs' Youth Leadership Cohort (YLC) cultivates a diverse pipeline of skilled, equipped youth leaders ready to transform their communities and sectors globally. Cohort members become role models, mentors, and influential voices in innovation and social impact. Long-term, this investment ensures programs and policies authentically reflect youth needs, creating sustainable solutions with profound impacts on health, economic empowerment, and social equity for generations to come.
