The UN SDSN Youth Investment Readiness Programme 2023 is now accepting applications. The Investment Readiness Programme (IRP) is a 16-week accelerator program that helps young social entrepreneurs under 35 from all around the world become investment-ready through one-on-one mentoring, curated training, peer-to-peer networking, and other opportunities to support youth innovation. The sixth iteration of the IRP will take place from May to August of this year.
Young people are highly talented and knowledgeable about the issues facing sustainable development, but they still face many obstacles in advocating their solutions, such as a lack of financing access, networks for mentoring, a common narrative, or SDG alignment. The UN SDSN Youth Solutions Programme helps accelerate the growth of youth solutions through a digital ecosystem of experts and resources, to refine their pitches, secure funding, connect with experts and mentors, and find new partnerships to grow their SDG solutions.
