Youths are powerful change agents with enormous potential to bring about the positive changes in society. Many NGOs prefer working with them and for them to achieve greater impact at grassroots levels as they are expected to become future leaders spearheading sustainable development processes. Many international agencies acknowledge the fact that without the involvement of today’s youths, it is impossible to achieve Sustainable Development Goals.
Youth NGOs and NGOs working for youths often find it challenging to identify resources for supporting their continued work. Here, we have developed a list of latest grants that are specifically available for empowering youths around the world.
