Who are we?

We are the participants of the International Youth Initiative Program (YIP) a 10-month program bringing together young people from around the world who are committed to creating positive change locally and globally. As a key part of our journey, all 27 of us will join international internships with grassroots organizations, and we are fundraising to make this vision a reality.

Why do we need your support ?

These field placements are a cornerstone of our development as changemakers. Through direct hands on work, we will learn from local experts, support grassroots innovation, and contribute directly to tackling urgent global issues. Every organization we are partnering with reflects YIP’s commitment to social justice, environmental sustainability, holistic education, and community building.

YIP is built on the belief that financial means should never limit potential. By keeping internship expenses separate from general tuition, the program remains open to young people from diverse backgrounds worldwide. Your support bridges this gap and helps ensure every participant can take part.

Where do your donations go?

Every donation will go directly towards covering the essential costs of our internships, such as travel, accommodation, and materials. Your generosity will allow us to focus on learning and giving back, without financial barriers standing in our way.

Why your support matters.

Your contribution is an investment in the future of global change. We are part of a generation ready to take responsibility for our shared future and confront pressing environmental, political, and social issues head-on. These field placements put practical, local solutions into action giving us the hands on skills, tools, and perspective required to lead lasting positive change.
