YouthBanks are funds run by young people with the purpose of supporting youth-led projects that address issues that matter to them. These funds are entirely driven and managed by young people who are passionate about making a positive impact. Their mission is to empower and support initiatives that matter to them, ultimately leading to positive change within their communities. A YouthBank group usually includes up to 15 young people, aged 14 to 25, with the specific age range decided by the local organization.
