Be the Teen Who Leads

The SDG Junior Innovators is an 8-week program that introduces high school students to the fundamentals of sustainability, leadership, collaboration and social innovation. Designed for students aged 15–19, this track combines classroom learning, field experiences, and mentorship to help youth explore how their ideas can make a real difference in their communities.
