At SDG Youth Connect, the future of the planet depends on how deeply today’s young people understand and engage with the Sustainable Development Goals. Founded in 2025 by Derin Ege Sezgin, the organization began with a clear intention to make awareness, advocacy, and action about the SDGs accessible, meaningful, and powerful.

From day one, our vision has been to grow into a leading global hub through our SDG Impact Pathways of Awareness, Advocacy, and Action. Whether making school children aware of the SDGs, pushing global leaders at the United Nations to deepen their commitments to the SDGs, or taking on-the-ground action to work for the SDGs yourself, our methods are a surefire success to give the SDGs one final boost before their conclusion in 2030.

If you do not have the time to enter our pathways now, we'd also be very grateful if you made a donation to our organization, as this will also support all of our changemakers in the mission to serve the 2030 Global Agenda right.

This story is still unfolding, but the destination is clear: a world where every young person has the tools, knowledge, and support to help achieve the SDGs, and in doing so, help build a better future for everyone and for future generations to come.
