This is your moment! You are part of a new generation of self-starters, initiators, social entrepreneurs and socially engaged young people: Venturers. You are part of Generation Venture.

Your generation is connecting to the world like no generation has before. You have unlimited opportunities to stand up, take initiative and create change around you. All you need is the willingness to do it. And once you’ve done it, you’ll see what it’s like to be powerful, and you’ll do it again and again and again.

The key to launching a venture is simple: you have to give yourself permission to do it. There are some people who will tell you that you can’t do it – that you’re not old enough or experienced enough, or you have other priorities. Don’t let it stop you. They’ve got their reasons – maybe they are telling you this because they didn’t give themselves permission to lead at a young age, and either they regret it or they still don’t see the potential they had – but their reasons don’t have to be your reasons.

This website will help you to connect with other Venturers from around the world, see how young people like you are creating impact in their communities and beyond, and learn from and support your peers. If you haven’t launched a venture yet, this site will help you first dream it, then do it, and, later, grow it.

With a little support and encouragement, there is no telling what Generation Venture will do. Take part in it. We’re looking forward to seeing what you tackle next!
