Opportunity Youth Starter Kit

We’ve curated a starter set of resources to help you get familiar with the global Opportunity Youth population, as well as better understand GOYN’s approaches in improving the economic and civic inclusion of OY.

Benefit from GOYN’s extensive learning to date through a sampling of case studies, learning briefs, and research below, alongside a selection of external sources for broader global data. To investigate further, dig into our Learning Lab, and check back regularly for additional assets to explore.
