How We Do It
Building Public-Private-Youth consortiums to co-create programs for and with young people
As the world's first public-private-youth partnership (PPYP), we bring together global organizations and leaders with young people to co-create and deliver, on a global scale, innovative solutions for and with young people.
Creating a global public-private-youth coalition for young people.
GenU was established as the world's first public-private-youth partnership (PPYP), bringing together global organizations and leaders with young people to solve the big issues facing today's youth. We build partnerships that combine partners' unique capabilities, assets and reach to deliver change at scale.
Youth-powered Impact
Young people have the creativity and the resilience needed to tackle the social challenges that affect us. At GenU, young people guide the partnership every step of the way, co-creating our agenda and taking a leadership role in our global operations. Representing some of the brightest young people across the globe, the dynamic Young People’s Action Team (YPAT) of over 50 youth leaders representing over 100+ countries steers the partnership and ensures that the voices of young people are represented.
Founding Partners
In recognition of their critical financial and technical support to GenU, Dubai Cares, IKEA Foundation, Microsoft, PwC, SAP and Unilever, who collectively match core contributions by UNICEF, have been recognized by GenU as Founding Partners. With their support, we are creating new opportunities and pool investment to transform outcomes with and for young people, everywhere.
