What is the Youth Assembly Impact Network?
AFS invites you to be part of the Youth Assembly Alumni Impact Network Community, designed to accelerate your impact both regionally and globally. Our newly launched alumni engagement initiative offers you opportunities that:
- Support Your Action and Impact: Get help with action-driven projects, mentorship, and expert connections.
- Access Seed Funding: Receive financial support for your projects and initiatives.
- Promote Regional Collaboration: Join local hubs to share knowledge and collaborate with peers globally.
- Showcase Your Achievements: Have your work showcased globally.
- Develop Your Skills: Benefit from youth opportunities, skill development sessions, and peer-to-peer support.
Who can join?
The Youth Assembly Impact Network is open to all alumni of the Youth Assembly. If you have participated in any session of the Youth Assembly, you are eligible to join and take advantage of the opportunities and support offered through this dynamic network of changemakers.
How does it work?
AFS appoints local Impact Coordinators in every region who will connect with alumni in their respective region to facilitate action-oriented activities and drive impact. Coordinators will:
- Lead action and impact initiatives
- Provide mentorship and support
- Connect you to essential resources and seed funding
- Foster alumni collaboration
- Promote your work on the global stage
What is Happening and When
Throughout the year, stay engaged with your regional impact network, participate in ongoing virtual meetups, and leverage the resources and support from Impact Coordinators to drive your projects forward. This timeline ensures you have continuous support and opportunities to collaborate, develop skills, and make a meaningful impact.

After the Youth Assembly
Attend a meet and greet with your regional Impact Coordinator and fellow alumni. Learn about how they will support you and get to know your peers.
During this time you will get to complete surveys to help communicate your project needs and goals, engage with your region’s platform and stay up to date on upcoming exciting events and activities, join virtual meetups, and engage in small group discussions on hot global topics. You will also participate in skills development sessions (i.e.: design thinking, fundraising, project management, branding), meet with experts, learn from peers, share knowledge and grow together as a changemaking community.
