2020 Youth Impact Challenge: Assemble a team for a chance to win $10,000!

July 20, 2020

Was your internship cancelled? The job market sparse and your summer empty? Or are you working while sitting on something that might change the world?

In either case, if you’re aged 16-25, we want to hear about your social and/or environmental impact ideas. We want to hear from a diversity of perspectives and professional backgrounds. We want to hear from you in groups of three or more. All we want is a simple three-page summary of your idea (no business plan necessary).

What do you win? The top 30 teams will receive $1,000 each and professional mentorship – to help them refine their ideas through the summer. The team who takes the top spot will walk away with $10,000, a whole lot of knowledge, and having met a bunch of industry leaders.

This is the 2020 Youth Impact Challenge, supported by InvestEco Capital and Renewal Funds.
