To be featured, your initiative must:

  • be youth-led, with at least half the leadership positions being held by people who are 31 or younger, OR strongly youth or children-focused, with its project focusing on people who are 31 or younger;

  • AND be acting in response to the COVID outbreak or its consequences, whether raising awareness about prevention, supporting vulnerable populations during the economic stop-down, supporting mental health, etc.
