Sponsor YEO 2030

Since 2007, Summit sponsors have enabled Making Cents to convene the global youth economic opportunities (YEO) community to gather and learn, engage in honest dialogue, form new partnerships, and grow our global professional network of youth development practitioners, experts, and innovators.

Today, the YEO community has a vital role to play in engaging young leaders globally, tackling the critical constraints and barriers to inclusive youth economic opportunities and identifying and supporting transformative opportunities to achieve the SDGs. We invite sponsors to join us as key partners in this effort – to support our initial launch of the initiative in November 2021, as well as to sustain our efforts in the years to come.

Sponsorship packages are currently being finalized to align with our new direction and strategy. As always, our partners can support YEO 2030’s online engagement and learning, while gaining visibility as thought-leaders in the following ways:
