Opening New Horizons for Young Changemakers

An exciting new initiative aims to empower the next generation of young activists and changemakers. The Next Generation YAC Applications provide opportunities for youth aged 18-30 to develop projects that drive social impact in their communities.

Nurturing Compassion and Service

These programs focus on nurturing qualities like compassion, civic duty, and service to others – ideals that all faiths and ethical codes share. They move beyond metrics and optimization, instead prioritizing human values and wellbeing.

Five Key Focus Areas

The initiatives span five key areas:

  • Community Service
  • Arts and Culture
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Health and Wellness
  • Environmental Stewardship

Building Connections

Participants connect with mentors and partners to bring their visions to life. Rather than focusing on self-promotion, they have opportunities to listen, learn, and grow through selfless contribution to their communities.

Measuring What Matters

Success will be measured not through vanity metrics, but through the positive impacts created in people’s lives – more smiles, more trees planted, more people helped.
