Support what matters to youth.

YLabs builds solutions to the most pressing problems facing youth today. Since we started in 2016, our innovations have reached over 220,000 young people around the world and we’ve spent time with 11,831 youth – listening to their needs, co-designing interventions, and advocating for a healthier, more prosperous future! Our team tackles topics like…

👉 Preventing teen pregnancy and HIV:

Through projects like CyberRwanda and Asking for a Friend, we are reimagining the future of sexual and reproductive health care for young people through digital interventions that put access to contraception and HIV testing in their hands.

👉 Raising youth voices to prevent climate change:

Through projects like Cityzens for Clean Air and Children, Cities, and Climate Action Lab, we are connecting the dots between young people and climate action to ensure youth are not only included in the conversation, but are leading it.

👉 Revolutionizing sex education globally:

Through projects like Future Sex Ed, we are transforming sex education with a body of youth-led evidence for a pleasure-based curriculum that promotes happy, healthy, and safe sexual experiences.

So, why should you care?

Around the world, young people are left out of critical conversations that directly impact their lives and futures. YLabs is the first organization of its kind to meaningfully and measurably put young people at the forefront of every project.

But we can’t do this alone. As a nonprofit organization, we rely upon supporters like you to bring young people’s ideas to action. Your generosity allows us to continue championing youth voices, building relevant digital products, and expanding our current work. Donate to YLabs today to support lovable, lasting solutions for youth!
