Sorry. i wanted to apply for the january, but i didn’t yet apply any youth summit. so i am very disapointed because i think the project would have been a good one. is there another mean to benefit from your opportuniies?
I’m afraid we can only give financial support to Global Changemakers who were selected for one of our summits, as our budget is limited.
I realised your target age bracket is way below mine. I am 33 as at date. Am i still relevant to the change makers
@Andrew-SIELE: I’m afraid that our age bracket is fixed, but there may be other programmes, organisations and institutions in your country or region that work with your age group.
Best wishes,
Matt
I am realy intrested in taking part of the summit or the grants process, I just want to know if it has any restrictions to youth from Brazil?
No specific restrictions for youth from Brazil. Some things to keep in mind, though:
- For our global summits, we accept applications from around the world, but currently the age range is 16-19. For our regional summits, we work with participants aged 18-24, but applicants have to be from the region(s) in question.
- The grants are open only to full Changemakers, i.e. those who have taken part in one of our summits.
