Youth Fellows
The Next Impact Youth Fellows brings together a selected group of young contributors and emerging leaders who support the organisation’s initiatives across youth engagement, programme development, communications, and global education. Coming from diverse academic and personal backgrounds, Youth Fellows contribute fresh perspectives, creativity, and youth-driven insight to projects connected to sustainability, leadership, international cooperation, and social impact. Working alongside educators, current and former UN experts and leaders, and international organisation partners, the Fellows form part of Next Impact’s broader mission to empower globally minded young people and create meaningful learning opportunities beyond the classroom.
