Implementation date
2021-2022
Around the world, young people are redefining what it means to participate and get involved in social issues and community affairs. With digital media tools that are easy to access and use, many youth find opportunities to express their advocacies and political views in creative ways, including through music, vlogs, memes and hashtags. To cultivate the digital civic engagement of the youth, they must be empowered to not only respond to the many challenges and opportunities presented in these digital spaces, but to also articulate their digital rights in today’s modern democracy.
The Youth Leaders Incubator is a digital civic learning opportunity for Filipino youth groups and organizations that aspire to create concrete social impact in their communities and encourage youth participation. In Phase 2 of the program, which runs from November 2021 to April 2022, ten (10) youth organizations will be under the support of the Incubator as they implement their advocacy projects. Each team receives seed funding, in the form of cash and Facebook ad credits, and technical support through mentoring and fellowship activities.
