Fully Funded YLABS’ 2024 Youth Leadership Cohort I Join Today

YLabs’ Youth Leadership Cohort is a unique opportunity that empowers young people to shape the vision of our global projects. We believe that youth voices should be at the forefront of decision-making conversations that directly affect their lives and futures. Often, programs with the potential to make a significant impact on youth health and economic prospects are created without their valuable input, ideas, and innovation. As an organization driven by youth, we are dedicated to placing young voices at the core of our work.

Who Should Apply?

We invite youth between the ages of 16 and 25 who are committed to improving the health and economic opportunities of young people to apply. Specifically, we are looking for young leaders in the following countries where YLabs has core projects in 2024: Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, and the United States.

YLabs is firmly committed to building teams and policies that champion equity, justice, and a sense of belonging. We strongly encourage young people from all backgrounds, including diverse cultures, races, educational experiences, socio-economic classes, sexual orientations, genders, and physical abilities, to apply. We do not discriminate against any applicant or employee based on factors such as race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, familial status, marital status, caregiver status, or any other category.

Why Should You Apply?

By joining the Youth Leadership Cohort, you will:

  • Gain valuable work experience and career readiness skills.
  • Provide essential input on youth engagement and communication for YLabs’ project teams.
  • Receive professional mentorship and guidance from experienced designers and researchers.
  • Have a say in the decisions and direction of YLabs’ global initiatives.
  • Be part of a community of inspiring individuals, all dedicated to addressing the most significant challenges facing young people’s health and economic prospects worldwide.
  • Receive a stipend to support your participation.

Participants should be prepared to commit up to 12 hours per month (approximately 2-3 hours per week) from January to December.
