The YSEALI Seeds for the Future Mentorship Program offers continuous guidance to support your project’s development. Participants benefit from two mentorship types:

- **Project Management Mentorship**: Experienced mentors will work closely with teams to establish goals, track progress, and address challenges, with monthly check-ins to keep projects on target.
- **Thematic Skills Mentorship**: Develop team skills through expert-led webinars covering civic engagement, social entrepreneurship, education, and environmental sustainability, with peer-to-peer exchanges for collaborative learning.

The 2025 YSEALI Seeds for the Future program offers up to $12,000 for projects in the Innovation Catalyst tier, $8,000 for Impact Accelerator tier projects, and $5,000 for Emerging Leaders tier projects. Winning projects receive mentorship throughout, equipping them with resources for lasting impact.
