Whether you are looking to support a specific initiative or programme, contribute funding or expertise, or build a long-term partnership, GenU works with organisations to expand opportunity for young people everywhere.

Contact our team to explore partnership opportunities.

Ways you can work with GenU

Join forces with GenU to expand skills and livelihood opportunities for young people at scale, and for the long term.

Partners work with us to:

  • Fund or co-create innovative programmes and initiatives that connect young people to job-relevant skills, decent work, entrepreneurship, and sustainable income
  • Contribute technical expertise, technology and networks to expand what already works, and embed it into national systems so it outlasts the funding behind it
  • Mobilise innovative financing including blended finance and debt swaps for youth skills and employment solutions at scale
  • Build the evidence base and shape thought leadership on what actually works in youth livelihoods, so insight drives programmes, policy and investment
  • Convene cross-sector coalitions that shift the policies, markets and systems young people depend on
  • Amplify youth leadership by putting young people into the design, delivery and advocacy of solutions that shape their futures

Learn how your organisation can partner with GenU

Skills are not enough. Partner with GenU to strengthen the national systems that convert skills into jobs, enterprise and income co-designing, testing and embedding solutions that answer real labour-market demand, and that outlast the funding behind them.

Partner with GenU to put your expertise, technology, financing, market insight and skilling programmes to work for young people strengthening their employability and connecting them to real jobs and enterprise opportunities. Businesses can back a single programme, join global initiatives such as Green Rising, or co-invest through alliances and joint programmes for greater impact at scale.

Together, businesses can:

  • Equip young people with the skills the market is hiring for today and building for tomorrow
  • Open real pathways into employment, entrepreneurship and sustainable income
  • Bring technology, expertise and market intelligence into programme design, so what we build answers actual workforce demand
  • Scale what already works, rather than starting from scratch
  • Mobilize funding, networks and employee talent behind young people
  • Join forces with other partners through alliances, joint programmes and shared campaigns”

Foundations can fund what others will not: the untested idea, the second phase, the long haul. With flexible, catalytic and long-term capital, partners help move promising solutions from pilot to scale and into the national systems that sustain them.

Build it with us. Join a GenU programme, champion the priorities of your generation, and work with partners to design and deliver real opportunity not promises.

Put financing and technical expertise behind youth skills and livelihood solutions built for scale and results. Partner with GenU to align investment with national priorities, build country delivery capacity, and take proven models to scale with outcomes you can verify.
