Our Partners

We collaborate with communities, non-profits and NGOs, government, business, global policymakers, and young people themselves. We value meaningful partnerships that translate new knowledge into innovations that make a real difference – to our communities, our economy and our planet.

We are deeply committed to building capacity within our partner organisations through up-skilling, training and knowledge exchange. At the same time, our partners enrich our work by ensuring our research resonates with industry and community experience, and has real-world impact.

How we work with our partners

We work in highly collaborative ways with our partners. Every partnership starts with a conversation about what matters to you – the questions you’re grappling with, the communities you serve and the change you want to see. From there, we co-design projects together, so that research is shaped by your expertise and lived experience from the outset, not added at the end.

Partners can expect rigorous, independent research, regular communication and genuine shared decision-making throughout. Together we create practical outputs – from evidence reviews and evaluations to resources, tools, training and policy briefs – designed to be used, not shelved. Above all, we aim for lasting outcomes: stronger programs, better-informed policy and real benefits for young people and their communities.
