The Disconnect We Bridge
Passion is left without a pathway. We exist to fix that.
The Knowledge Gap
Young leaders have local knowledge but lack access to technical training in project management and grant writing.
The Representation Gap
Youth are systematically excluded from the decision-making rooms where their futures are decided.
The Resource Gap
Less than 1% of all climate philanthropy ever reaches youth-led organizations.

Building an Ecosystem for Youth Power
We don't just run programs; we build pathways. Our integrated model creates a clear journey from learning to leadership.
Educate & Equip (YCC Academy)
We provide foundational knowledge in climate science, project management, and grant writing to build core capacity. This is the starting line for new leaders to gain the skills they need to turn passion into a plan.
Innovate & Research
We empower our trained youth to develop and lead ground-up, culturally relevant climate solutions and research in their own communities. This ensures that solutions are effective and just, not top-down.
Advocate & Influence (Policy Voices)
We train promising leaders to shape policy and public narratives, becoming official YCC Ambassadors on the global stage. We create a pathway for their expertise to be heard in the rooms where decisions are made.
Connect & Collaborate (YCC Nexus)
We build a global support network of peers, mentors, and partners through our annual Global Summit and self-sustaining Regional Hubs. This ensures no leader has to work alone and fosters lifelong collaboration.

What is Youth-Climate Connect (YCC)?YCC is a youth-led global initiative that aims to empower and mobilize youth to take meaningful action in response to the pressing climate crisis. YCC provides a comprehensive online platform that offers climate education, gamified learning, community collaboration, inclusivity, and sustainability for young leaders, especially in the global south.
YCC recognizes that climate injustice in the global south is a critical and pressing issue that requires immediate attention and action. The global south faces disproportionate impacts of climate change, such as rising temperatures, droughts, floods, storms, and sea level rise, which threaten the lives and livelihoods of millions of people, especially the youth. YCC aims to address the gap in climate awareness, access to information, and engagement opportunities for youth in these regions, and to empower them to become climate champions.
YCC offers engaging, multilingual climate education resources, including videos and courses, to equip youth with the knowledge and skills needed to address climate challenges effectively. YCC also incorporates gamification elements to make climate education interactive and enjoyable, fostering greater engagement and understanding. YCC’s climate education covers topics such as the causes and effects of climate change, the solutions and actions that can be taken, and the role of youth in driving transformative change.
