The World Food Forum (WFF) Youth Assembly is inviting organizations from around the world to apply as Partner Organizations for the 2026 cycle. This opportunity is open to institutions, networks, NGOs, youth-focused organizations, and initiatives interested in supporting youth-led dialogue and action on global agrifood system challenges.

The WFF Youth Assembly is a year-round global platform, led by the Youth Policy Board (YPB), that brings young people together to co-create ideas, solutions, and policy recommendations on issues shaping the future of food and agriculture. Partner organizations play an important role in shaping discussions and helping translate youth perspectives into meaningful policy and action.

About the Partnership

Selected partner organizations will collaborate closely with the WFF Youth Assembly Secretariat and Youth Policy Board to design and deliver thematic sessions, consultations, and dialogues throughout the year. These activities focus on key agrifood system priorities such as climate change, biodiversity, nutrition, water management, sustainable agriculture, and food security.

Partners are also expected to support outreach efforts and help amplify youth-led recommendations within their own networks and platforms, strengthening the link between youth voices and intergovernmental decision-making processes.

What Partner Organizations Gain

Organizations selected as WFF Youth Assembly partners will have the opportunity to:

• Co-design and co-host high-impact Youth Assembly sessions and consultations

• Work directly with the Youth Assembly Secretariat and Youth Policy Board members

• Share technical expertise, research findings, and innovative approaches

• Nominate speakers, facilitators, and experts for global youth dialogues

• Increase organizational visibility within international youth and agrifood networks

• Support the integration of youth-driven recommendations into policy discussions
