The world doesn’t need more bystanders. It needs doers, builders, and bold thinkers, and this is your chance to rise.
The 1 Million Youth Actions Challenge (1MYAC) is back for its 3rd Call to Action, inviting young people aged 18–35 from across the globe to submit powerful, action-driven ideas that tackle today’s most urgent environmental and social challenges.
Backed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the International Secretariat for Water (ISW), this year’s edition calls for projects that drive measurable impact in:
- SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation
- SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
- SDG 13 – Climate Action
- SDG 15 – Life on Land
But 2025 brings a special focus: Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Plastic Pollution
What’s in it for you?
If your idea gets selected, you’ll receive:
- Up to 5,000 CAD (~2,900 CHF) in seed funding
- Technical and mentoring support to bring your project to life
- A platform to connect with global changemakers like you
- Visibility at high-level international forums
Whether you're a solo founder or part of a grassroots youth collective, 1MYAC is your launchpad.
Deadline: August 15, 2025
The 1MYAC isn’t just about funding; it’s about fuelling real-world solutions by those closest to the problem.
