FOR COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
Have a real problem? Let’s build a solution together.
If your NGO, nonprofit or community organization has a real need but lacks the resources to research, design or develop it, bring the problem to YMS.
Not handing work to students—and not inventing an exercise for them.
The organization provides a real problem, context, user access and feedback. YMS matches a youth project team and industry mentors. Young people contribute through guided research, design and implementation, with testing and partner acceptance.
Youth are not replacing professionals. They are learning to contribute under professional guidance.
Begin with an unresolved operational challenge.

WHAT WE NEED FROM A PARTNER
A strong project needs an active partner.
- Explain the problem clearly while keeping the solution open
- Provide access to staff or users for interviews and testing
- Give timely feedback and acceptance at milestones
- Define privacy, security, data and intellectual-property boundaries together
Start with the friction you most want to reduce.
Email your organization, whom you serve, the current problem, existing process and desired improvement. We will first assess whether it fits a youth real-world project.
