People aged between 13 and 19 are invited to share their ideas.
(Source: @YSInow/Twitter)The search is on to find young people with creative ideas for helping their communities through Covid-19.
Young Social Innovators has launched its Open Call to Teenagers - and anyone aged between 13 and 19 can apply until the 31st of May.
The organisation says it will help successful applicants develop their ideas and the ones with the "highest potential for impact" will get the opportunity to pitch to leaders across business, NGO and Government.
Savannah May Timoney from Donegal has previously worked on a project for Young Social Innovators, about how social media and reality TV can affect young people, and she told The Lift that it was a brilliant experience.
"Everyone wants to try and make the world a little bit better and young people are no different in that, but I think we do feel a bit powerless sometimes, in making those changes to impact our communities for the better.
That's where YSI comes in. It will give you the tools and resources you need to try and make those positive changes. If you have any sort of idea, even if it's not fully formed, I really do recommend that you go and answer the YSI Open Call. They'll give you lots of help and support to develop the idea and really make it the best it can be."
