Generation Unlimited

On a mission to skill and connect the world's 1.8 billion young people to opportunity

Young people is the calling of our time and everyone has a role to play.

A demographic boom is happening across much of the world, bringing the potential to transform social and economic outcomes and reduce inequality, but only if we create enough opportunity.

Generation Unlimited is the world's first Public-Private-Youth Partnership (PPYP) on a mission to skill and connect the world’s 1.8 billion young people to opportunities for employment, entrepreneurship, and social impact.
