Membership Program

Global Program⎢ Community
Joining the SDSN Youth is free and happens at the institutional level. Membership allows your institution to work with us and our unique network of problem solvers to contribute to practical solutions for sustainable development.

The SDSN Youth global network’s Membership Program aims to engage youth organizations by creating a space for collaboration, fostering knowledge exchange, unlocking opportunities, and increasing ambitions to localize and mobilize support for the SDGs. Members must be actively involved in initiatives that contribute to sustainable development, whether through educational initiatives, research projects, policy advocacy, or other solution-oriented initiatives. 

University clubs, youth-led and youth-focused organizations, research institutes, youth NGOs, and other youth groups committed to sustainable development are welcome to apply and join the Membership Program. By applying, Member Organizations confirm their commitment to advocating for sustainability at the local, national, and international levels.
