GET INVOLVED

Help us reach more young leaders!

Applications for the next class of Carnegie Young Leaders are now open!

As a Carnegie Young Leader, young people ages 14-24 work together in teams of five to address an issue in their community while receiving funding, mentorship and peer learning to take their big idea from concept to reality.

Know a young leader who is, or wants to be doing, meaningful work who should know about this opportunity?

We invite you to recommend individuals based in the U.S., so we can reach those who may not otherwise be connected to national opportunities like Carnegie Young Leaders. They don’t need to be fully up and running, they just need an initial idea and the curiosity and commitment to learn as they go.

Recommendations help us broaden outreach. They do not affect how applications are evaluated.

PRIORITY DEADLINE: March 30, 2026
