We are honored to be supporting young people all over the world to take action around issues that they care deeply about. With the Global Youth Action Fund (GYAF), IB is proud to award micro-grants to support young people’s innovative ideas and projects addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We are happy to have announced and celebrated two cohorts of awardees from 2023 and 2024 representing over 400 youth from 60 countries. GYAF is an award open to any student or student group ages 12 through 19 who has a project or idea they believe will make an impact in their community. Each project must be aimed to support one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
