Welcome to the International Youth Volunteerism Summit 2007! We believe deeply in the potential of every individual to utilize their passions and assets to be a part of positive global change. Our job is to help individuals move beyond “good intentions” by enabling those passions with skills, knowledge, and connections to peers and experts.
We prioritize real relationships and community connections; we’re excited about the sustainability and authenticity of small-scale global relationships between individuals and communities in which all parties understand what they have to give and what they have to receive.
We believe that better education is the missing gap between awareness and action and between “good intentions” and real responsible, effective, and sustainable global change. This is why we dedicate ourselves year round to developing the best immerse capacity-building event possible. Finally, we are not content to rely on past successes but work constantly to improve our capacity to help maximize the positive potential of the next generation of global change-makers.IYVS is a place for young people who care deeply about global progress to come together to understand the challenges and opportunities for their engagement; to hone the skills and mindsets that will enable them to better plan, execute, and participate in change-focused projects, and connect with like-minded peer communities from around the world.

The Summit does not end with your flight home. Before and during the Summit we will announce a number of Outcome initiatives – financial grants, resource development, consulting, advising, and more – that you have access to to help your project move from idea to reality. What’s more, as soon as you leave, you become part of a dynamic alumni community which will give you continued digital access to the support, ideas, and connections of your IYVS peers and facilitators. We provide an infrastructure for you to maintain and extend the relationships that begin at the Summit.
During our first year, we offered an outcome grant prize package worth more than $10,000 to our IYVS2006 delegates. You can view last year’s application here. We were looking for projects that demonstrated an understanding of challenges, utilized available assets, harnessed individual potentials, prioritized relationships and community connections. We also wanted to support projects that had exciting and achievable objectives, and a good plan for getting there. Finally, we were interested in projects that could open up new opportunities for other undergraduates.
