The Opportunities Fund for Urban Youth-Led Development, a grant worth $1 million in funding per year, will award up to US $25,000 to groups led by young people, aged 15-24 years. The Fund supports inspiring youth-led initiatives worldwide and engages the partnership and leadership of young men and women in working towards sustainable urbanization.

Through this new fund, we are recognizing the urgent need to bolster youth-led initiatives, and are at the forefront of a growing movement to place youth at the centre of sustainable development strategies.
