Calling all youth founders, leaders, and organizers in energy and climate!
Building on its 2023 research report, Student Energy is launching the Youth Impact Framework Pilot Cohort 2025
Overview
Student Energy, in partnership with the Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM), is seeking 10 youth-led climate and energy projects or organizations to participate in a pilot program applying the Youth Impact Framework (YIF).
Student Energy is inviting youth-led project or organization leaders from around the world to take part in a 4-workshop intensive to pilot the Youth Impact Framework and improve the way they communicate the impact and importance of youth-led initiatives.
Selected projects will participate in a series of 4 workshops and receive training, mentorship, and communication support to strengthen their impact measurement and storytelling. By the end of the program, project leaders will have a stronger pitch, impact evaluation framework, and a network of peers and mentors to help scale their work. Participants will receive a modest stipend for their participation.
Selected participants will receive:
- Training on impact measurement and storytelling
- Tailored mentorship and coaching to improve your pitch deck, mission statement, or impact report and better showcase your work to funders, policymakers, and global audiences
- A modest honorarium for your participation in the 4-workshop series
