Through networking and collaboration, member organizations are able to connect with their peers at an international level and benefit from peer-to-peer learning.
The program prioritizes education and resource to drive change towards a sustainable future through high-level business-oriented skills such as fundraising, project management, and leadership.
The Membership Program’s platform celebrates the network’s achievements by amplifying every member organizations’ local and global steps and impact through various SDSN Youth platforms and channels. For us, empowering the youth means to learn from one another, exchange ideas and best practices, and create a chain of sustainable solutions with global impact.
Together, we work to activate a range of initiatives that deliver real results towards the Sustainable Development Goals and we believe that young people are at the forefront of that change.
