The European Union (EU) and the Global Youth Mobilisation (GYM), a program of the Big Six Youth Organisations (Big Six), have partnered to create the Youth Empowerment Fund (YEF), which offers direct financial support for youth-led projects that concentrate on localising the Sustainable Development Goals.

Young people from under-represented backgrounds, such as those who are struggling because of their socioeconomic status, gender, disability, marginalisation, climate change, and other factors, are also the focus of the Youth Empowerment Fund. Therefore, a lot of youth-led solutions help youth and their communities get out of these vulnerable situations.
