YOUTH ARE THE POWER
BEHIND REAL CHANGE
Current funding systems are failing young people.
The Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) Fund aims to change that.
The Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) Fund is transforming the global aid landscape by putting financial power in the hands of young leaders to create prosperous and inclusive societies. Guided by principles of nonviolence, trust, and local ownership, we are a youth-led global community advised by senior leaders in the field. We support young people, the excluded and overlooked majority, who are reducing violence in conflict settings through their efforts.
We are committed to empowering local communities, financing youth leaders’ initiatives, and building a global community which works together to empower young people.
Our Mission Statement
The YPS Fund recognizes that violence, from racial injustice, to climate crisis, to political, social, economic, gender, cultural, digital, and all other forms of violence, are interconnected. We aim to revolutionize how everyday people think and act around violence and peacebuilding.
We adopt a collective problem solving approach wherein we fund youth-led organizations and individuals solving similar issues. We bring people together and support them through training and mentorship, to work together, as a community.
Therefore, our goal is to support young people who are addressing systemic violence and injustice in their societies today, to create a just and prosperous world which future generations will inherit tomorrow.
Join us and help shape this global community of youth peacebuilders!
