SDSN Youth would not exist without its vast network of volunteers - a truly global team brought together to achieve one mission - empowering youth to achieve the SDGs.
Maybe you're watching the news or concerned about your own country. You want to do something, but don't work in sustainability.
Our volunteers come a variety of backgrounds - business, engineering, international relations, psychology - and work together for one goal: shape a more sustainable future.
We understand that volunteers are dedicating their spare time to work with us. We want you to enjoy being part of the team - so team building, professional development, and social events are core to the volunteer experience.
Assembly members are essential for SDSN Youth to function on a global scale.
You'll meet passionate young people from around the world.
Join the team to amplify their work, help them accelerate their impact, one Saturday at a time.
"Most likely, the Local Pathways fellowship has been a turning point in my professional career. I always wanted to develop an election and climate project, but I never had the opportunity to put my ideas into practice. This fellowship provided me with a series of tools to structure my idea into a real project, with inputs to get out of ideation and incorporate global experiences for what I was doing."
"Most other clubs require you to have a background in something or a qualification of some sort; with SDSN Youth, there is a place for you as long as you have the passion and desire to contribute to sustainable development."
“The.. fellowship gave me the tools to make the change I want to see in my city. The program also gave me confidence, independence and power, which I had never experienced before.. Today I continue to fight for a safer city for women, but this time being part of the government.”
