Why the Younga Foundation?
The Younga Difference
Bridging the Gap for Scalable Next-Gen Impact
Fragmented Efforts
Frequently youth programs operate in silos, lacking a unified, cross-sector global approach.
Resource Strain
Implementing and reporting on effective youth initiatives demands significant resources.
Funding Disparities
Established programs often attract the majority of funding, limiting scope and engagement of underserved communities.
Our Solution
YOUNGA Foundation bridges the gap by providing a centralized platform that amplifies impact, engages marginalized youth and fosters cooperation over competition. Through partnerships with 300+ organizations, we create efficient, targeted pathways for sustainable next-gen impact.
Success Stories
Rare Impact
To enhance access to youth mental health education and promote emotional well-being, we have successfully completed two years of partnership with Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. Through this collaboration, we have upskilled 48 Rare Impact Ambassadors via Younga programs and facilitated 1,440 hours of collective learning and youth mentorship.
COP28
In 2023, we made history by facilitating the first-ever youth delegation from Bermuda to the UN Climate Change Conference—making it possible for youth delegates to engage directly with decision-makers including ministers and the Premier of Bermuda, share their perspectives and advocate for climate action.
TIME CO2
For collaboration with TIME and The Face of Change, we organized a next-gen mastermind to tackle the climate-driven health crisis by advocating for sustainable, life-saving health solutions. With a focus on raising awareness about the nexus of climate change and health issues, the curated gathering aimed to catalyze global ideas toward implementing impactful health interventions and policies.
