Who we are
We are 27 young people from 17 countries taking part in the International Youth Initiative Program (YIP), a 10-month program based in Sweden. Together, we explore the challenges our world faces, learn from different perspectives, and develop the skills and initiative to put ideas into action.
As part of the program, we will take part in five-week international internships with organisations working on issues we care about — from environmental sustainability and education to social justice and community building.
Learn more about YIP on the official website.
Why we are fundraising
Our internships are an opportunity to learn from people and organisations working on real challenges in their communities. By joining their work, we hope to gain practical experience and a better understanding of the issues that matter to us.
YIP is built on the belief that financial means should never limit potential. By keeping internship expenses separate from the general program fee, YIP aims to remain accessible to young people from different backgrounds. Your support helps make sure that everyone in our group can take part.
What your support makes possible
Your donations will help cover essential internship expenses, including travel, accommodation and materials, making the internships accessible for all 27 of us. The experiences we gain will become part of our shared learning at YIP and accompany us into our future projects and whatever comes next.
Meet the internship groups
Each group will spend five weeks working with a different organisation. Find out where we are going and learn more about the organisations we will be joining.
