About Youth Impact
Connect youth to proven life-saving information.
Our Mandate
Youth Impact is an evidence-based, youth-led organization based in Botswana that identifies, adapts, and scales up health and education programs for young people around the world. At the core of our work is the understanding that when young people thrive, we all do.
Our Mission
Connect youth to proven life-changing information.
Our Vision
All youth thriving through delivery of multiple evidence-based programs.
What Do We Do?
At Youth Impact, we scale health and education programs that work for young people. We use evidence to make them work even better and to help reach more young people in a more cost-effective way. We work hand in hand with governments to scale our programs through their systems. We share our findings widely to inform policies and evidence-based practices around the world. We apply entrepreneurial approaches to social sector challenges. We are driven by impact.
For youth by youth
We believe proven health and education needs to be taught by youth for youth. You can't send old officials to teach kids about sex and stigmatized topics. It doesn't work. It's not relatable. It's boring. It doesn't have impact. We make sure the messages we pick up - the ones research has shown work -- also get delivered in a way our target audience deserves: by youth for youth.
