Youth Champions Initiative (YCI) is launching in partnership with the Packard Foundation, a new program with a focus on investing in young leaders to improve SRHR outcomes in Ethiopia, India, Pakistan, and the US states of Mississippi and Louisiana.
YCI will select 18 visionary young leaders (ages 18-29) from India, Ethiopia, Pakistan, and the US states of Mississippi and Louisiana to attend YCI’s Incubator workshop, which will be held from December 4-12, 2014 in Los Altos, California. The Incubator will integrate capacity building in sexual and reproductive health and rights, leadership, innovation, advocacy and project development. YCI will competitively award grants (in the range of $8,000 – $12,000) to participating Youth Champions and their organizations to launch innovative sexual and reproductive health and rights projects they develop during the Incubator. Applications are due no later than August 12, 2014.
