🎥 Exciting News! 🎥 We are thrilled to share the recording of our recent panel discussion at the Aspen Ideas Festival 2024! Listen as global Opportunity Youth leaders and partners from India, Africa, and Latin America discuss mobilizing hundreds of partners and thousands of young people to create viable economic pathways. https://lnkd.in/dRPJjsEf At the center of GOYN's work are Opportunity Youth – young people who are out of school, out of work, or underemployed. This population, which is often under-examined and under-appreciated, numbers somewhere between 400 and 600 million worldwide - marking a critical issue of our time. GOYN is dedicated to advancing solutions with local partners across the globe, working hand-in-hand with young people to co-create solutions, and empowering them with decision-making power and funding to drive change in their communities. This global, multi-stakeholder panel is a testament to GOYN's approach! Catch the full discussion featuring: Jamie McAuliffe – Founder and Director, Global Opportunity Youth Network Maria Paula Macías Acosta – Collective Impact Coordinator, Fundación Corona (Global Opportunity Youth Network - GOYN Bogotá) Tatenda Mazambani – President, @Regional STEAM Expo; Bezos Scholar Ruchi Mathur – Vice Chair, Lighthouse Communities Foundation Sarah Keh – VP of Corporate Social Responsibility, Prudential Financial. Thank you, Sarah, for moderating this insightful panel and for being one of GOYN’s earliest partners and champions! A heartfelt thank you to Aspen Ideas for creating the space for this vital discussion and for showcasing GOYN's work. We are grateful for the chance to share our mission and collaborate with incredible leaders and partners at the festival. More to come! 🚀 #AspenIdeasFestival #OpportunityYouth #GOYN #YouthEmpowerment #EconomicPathways #GlobalImpact #ThePowerOfPlace
