Introducing the Young Green Briton Challenge
The Young Green Briton Challenge (YGBC) has been inspiring secondary school students across England for the past three years.
Its core purpose is to empower young people to design and deliver local climate action ventures, while building valuable, transferable green skills for the future. The challenge is co-designed and delivered by Social Innovation for All and GenEarth, in partnership with cornerstone funder, the Green Britain Foundation. Since its launch in 2022, YGBC has expanded rapidly, evolving into a national platform for youth-led, school-based climate action.
