About Youth Network

We believe that every young person deserves the chance to develop their skills, expand their horizons, and contribute to solving global challenges through international experiences.

Our Story
Youth Network began in 2018 when our founder, Sarah Johnson, struggled to find information about international opportunities during her undergraduate studies. Despite her passion for global engagement, she found that information was scattered across countless websites, often hidden behind paywalls or exclusive networks.
What started as a simple blog sharing scholarship opportunities quickly grew into a comprehensive platform as more young people faced similar challenges. Today, Youth Network has helped thousands of young people access life-changing opportunities abroad.
Our team now includes former scholarship recipients, exchange program alumni, and youth leaders who are passionate about making global opportunities accessible to all. We continue to grow our platform with the support of our community and partners who share our vision.
