Applications for Ashoka’s Generation Changemaker (GenC) are now open — a new network recognising and supporting 13–18 year olds in the UK & Ireland who are making a positive impact in their communities.

At a time when the skills of tomorrow aren’t technical — they’re human (creativity, empathy, teamwork, and changemaking top the World Economic Forum’s 2025 skills forecast), this program backs young people who are already putting those skills into practice.

Nominations and applications are now open. If you know a young person who’s creating change, or you are a young person who’s creating change yourself, why not apply or spread the word?

The deadline for applications is May 31^st, 2025.
