Generation Unlimited

The world's first Public-Private-Youth Partnership working to skill and connect the world's 1.8 billion young people to opportunity

Join Us

Unlocking opportunities for young people today means 1.8 billion reasons to be hopeful about tomorrow.

The world faces an urgent challenge: 1.8 billion young people are standing at the door of adulthood. Many of them don't have the skills and opportunities to succeed in the workforce and contribute to society.

Today's young people are tomorrow’s dreamers, doers and thinkers. They hold our future in their hands. But now their future is in ours. We cannot afford to fail them!

As the world's first Public-Private-Youth Partnership (PPYP), Generation Unlimited brings together the best of the public, private, and youth sectors to create and unlock opportunities for young people on an unprecedented scale—so that every one of them can realize their potential and help build a better world for all of us.
