Closing Date: Friday 3rd July at 5pm 

Innovation has always been a key part of a youth work response.  Youth workers are consistently responding to the social, economic, political and cultural contexts that they meet in their practice.  This fund recognises the ingenuity that is present in youth work and seeks to create an opportunity to build on this innovation.  This fund has a particular focus on harnessing this innovation with the intention of supporting the introduction and/or embedding of a global youth work approach in your practice.  The fund is not restricted to any criteria, beyond the fact that it should identify a core justice issue within a local-global context. 

Project implementation should take place between July 15th – 30th September 2026 

Successful applicants will receive a grant of up to €5000 and free training with the Youth 2030 training team to support you in delivering a young person-centred project on issues relating to our global world. This funding is to support projects in the youth work sector.
