Welcome to Youth Giving – the global ecosystem that empowers youth to create global impact. Our platform is a unique opportunity for like-minded stakeholders to connect and collaborate, providing young change-makers and youth-serving organizations with the resources, knowledge, and networks they need to increase their impact.
Originally launched by Candid. nine years ago as YouthGiving.org, Youth Giving has now been taken over by The International Social Impact Institute®. We celebrated this transition with the first-ever virtual Youth Giving Summit on International Youth Day, August 12, 2022. Our summit brought together young change-makers from five different continents to inspire, connect, and activate today’s youth to drive change in their communities.
At Youth Giving, we believe in the power of youth to create positive change in the world. Our vision is to build an ecosystem that provides access to resources, knowledge, and networks to empower young people to share their stories and increase their impact.
Whether you’re passionate about empowering youth or are a young person interested in or making global impact, we invite you to join us on our journey. Our platform provides a unique opportunity for you to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations, gain access to resources and knowledge, and showcase your success in making a difference in the world.

Youth Giving Summit
The first-ever Virtual Youth Giving Summit consisted of four distinct parts, each moderated by the CEO of The International Social Impact Institute and centered around the Institute's core themes of inspiration, connection, activation, and transformation.
Throughout the summit, the overarching message emphasized the significance of building communities and fostering collaborative efforts towards creating positive change in the world.
This impactful session delved into catalyzing the global impact of youth through the power of inspiration. Hear from three intergenerational speakers from Bangladesh and South Africa who shared their personal stories and actionable advice for young change-makers:
- Professor Muhammad Yunus (2006 Nobel Peace Laureate and Founder, Grameen Bank),
- Siyabulela Mandela, PhD (Regional Project Manager East and Southern Africa, Journalists for Human Rights), and
- Mr. Mohaiminul Raqib (Founder, BIHDP/Member, 3ZERO Club).

In the third and final session, attendees heard from two impactful speakers:
- Chinedu Echeruo, a serial entrepreneur and founder of HopStop.com, and recent co-founder of the Love & Magic Company, and
- Kathleen Murphy Toms, the Director of Digital Strategy for GivingTuesday, the biggest philanthropic movement in history.
The session was focused on the critical topic of going from inspiration to action while keeping generosity and love at the core of what we do. Both speakers shared insights on the importance of building ecosystems to drive impact and sustain future endeavors. Additionally, they offered valuable practical advice on getting started, scaling existing focus, and joining efforts that are already underway.
The Youth Giving Summit was not just about our three main events, we also highlighted six amazing Youth Giving Ambassadors through our Transformation Talks Series that took place in July and August 2022.
Our Youth Giving Ambassadors are a group of passionate, social-impact driven youth from all over the world, who are using their time, talent, and treasure to create a more equitable and sustainable world. They are inspiring, connecting, and activating their peers to become changemakers, and amplifying the voices of like-minded individuals.
Throughout the Transformation Talks Series, each Ambassador shared their own inspiring story, as well as practical advice for getting involved in the world of social impact. They emphasized the importance of building and leveraging a strong ecosystem, finding your purpose, overcoming fear, and taking action. By working together, the Youth Giving ecosystem can catalyze the impact of young people and create a brighter future for all.
