About
YouthActionNet equips the world’s greatest asset—young people—to solve our greatest challenges.
A signature initiative of the International Youth Foundation, YouthActionNet was founded 18 years ago in the belief that youth are uniquely positioned to build a more just and inclusive world. Our global network of 24 locally-owned and operated youth leadership institutes ensures that aspiring and accomplished young social entrepreneurs gain the support they need to deliver on their social change goals.
More than 2,000 young leaders in 92 countries have already benefited from the leadership training, funding, networks, and resources we provide. Our support strengthens and expands the impact of youth-led ventures in fields like education, healthcare, social inclusion, and environmental protection.
