Enabled by the GYM’s Youth-Led Model, the applications are reviewed and recommended by a global, diverse and experienced team of Youth Panellist from across the globe, including the GYM’s Youth Board Representatives.
In the last Open Call cycle, 166 Youth Panellists were recruited and they contributed over 3,400 volunteer hours in the intensive review process from August to November 2024 to select the projects.
In addition to funding, we provide successful project awardees with capacity building opportunities such as workshops, access to community of youth experts and guidance for their project implementation journey.
Check out the Capacity Building Workshops page to join our ongoing application support webinars and more.
There is also the chance for outstanding project teams to join an Accelerator Program to scale up their ideas.
The Accelerator Program offers additional funding opportunities, access to a global network of youth leadership, intensive training, support from experts, and other opportunities to scale projects further.
