Through a competitive evaluation process, YSF will
award seed funding (up to USD 25,000) for the implementation of
selected projects that demonstrate innovative approaches to
intercultural or interfaith dialogue and advance the mission of UNAOC.
YSF only supports projects that are entirely developed and managed by
youth for the benefit of youth.
Established in 2008, the Fund
responded to calls for action made by young civil society leaders around
the world on the importance of establishing funding mechanisms for
youth-led organizations. Since its creation, YSF has funded 63 youth-led
organizations in 39 countries.
Today, YSF continues to support youth-led civil society organizations, with a particular focus on the role of young people in promoting peace and preventing violent extremism conducive to terrorism. YSF contributes to advancing the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security, which establishes the policy framework to support and engage young people as part of inclusive, participatory approaches to building peaceful and inclusive societies.
YSF also contributes to the implementation of the UN Secretary-General’s Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism and the call to support young people as they take up the causes of cultural and religious pluralism, peace, and mutual respect.
