CALL FOR CONVENING ORGANIZATIONS TO JOIN THE YOUTH ALLIANCE

 Dear colleagues,

As the Youth Alliance for Zero Hunger is working towards formalization, we are looking for more convening organizations to get involved in the final structure. These organizations will have direct decision-making power in the alliance through their representatives in the executive committee. In addition, the members of the convening organizations will also become members of the Youth Alliance. By being part of the Youth Alliance, an organization will amplify the scope of their initiatives, find valuable partnerships with other relevant youth organizations, access to potential sources of funding and increase their presence in global food and agriculture policy making.

We already have several organizations from a diverse range of sectors willing to be part of the alliance and break the silos: farming, entrepreneurship, research, student organizations, civil society, capacity building organizations, global youth networks ...
