Choose how to work with Young InnoPreneurs

Partners can host or fund a defined youth experience, commission youth-insight work, sponsor access or showcases, or strengthen the evidence and operating infrastructure that makes high-quality programming possible. Program and Lab engagements are scoped around cohort size, duration, partner support, safeguarding, and evidence requirements; we clarify the investment after a short discovery conversation.

  • Fund or host a 3-day Innovation Immersive or 6–8 week proof cohort
  • Fund or host a 14-week Innovation Cohort
  • Commission an Insights Lab pilot
  • Sponsor a Changemaker Challenge or showcase
  • Fund participant materials and prototype kits
  • Support mentor engagement and career exposure
  • Invest in evaluation, impact reporting, facilitator capacity, or validated digital infrastructure
  • Provide unrestricted or capacity-building support

What happens after you reach out?

We start with a short discovery conversation to clarify your priorities and the youth or community you want to serve. From there, we configure the smallest useful proof engagement, confirm outcomes, roles, safeguards, timing, and funding, then move into a clear scope or SOW. After delivery, we review evidence, partner feedback, actual costs, and the next decision: continue, adapt and retest, scale, or pause.
