Young Changemaker

Quarterly Sponsorships

The Young Changemaker Quarterly Sponsorships are dedicated to recognizing and supporting innovative youth who are actively addressing global or local challenges. We seek individuals committed to finding creative, practical solutions to critical issues such as climate change, social injustice, or food security. We firmly believe in the power of youth initiative to create a positive planetary impact, and we intend for this sponsorship to directly further and expand your existing projects.

Empowering the next generation of leaders, the YPL Quarterly Changemaker Sponsorships are awarded four times per year, offering $2,000 USD for first place, $1,500 for second, and $1,000 for third each quarter. Click on the application link to learn more about eligibility and quarterly deadlines.
