About the Grant

Young people hold the empathy, power, and ingenuity to solve problems, in their communities, the world, and everywhere in between. Solv[ED] is designed to spark a sense of agency in young people aged 24 and under, encouraging, inspiring, and supporting them to become problem-solvers in their communities and the world.

Millions of children are still out of school. The negative impacts of climate change continue to accelerate and shock our natural, social, and economic systems. Economic inequality is growing within and between countries. A global pandemic is exacerbating and exposing massive health and social inequities. We need everyone to roll up their sleeves and take part in addressing these challenges, even (and especially) when we feel overwhelmed. Each one of us has a role to play. And it’s never too early to get started.

Are you age 24 and under? Whoever you are, wherever you are in the world, we want to hear from you about your solution!

The Solv[ED] Youth Innovation Challenge is an opportunity for you to submit your tech-based solution that:

• Improves learning opportunities and outcomes for learners across their lifetimes, from early childhood on
• Supports financial and economic opportunities for all 
• Accelerates healthcare access and health outcomes, reducing and, ultimately, eliminating disparities in health
• Takes action to combat climate change and its impacts
• Addresses an unmet social, environmental, or economic need not covered in the four topics above.

Who can apply?

Anyone, anywhere around the world can submit a solution to the Solv[ED] Youth Innovation Challenge if they are aged 24 and under. For full participation details, please see our Terms of Service. Whether you apply as an individual or as a team, make sure that all applicants listed in your submission are, at most, 24 years old when the challenge closes on January 18, 2022 at 11:59pm ET. There is no cost to submitting a solution. Applications must be written in English.
