Meet across worlds
Bring students, professionals and creators into the same conversation.
A community for young Somalilanders
Wherever we are,
we build for home.
YouVate brings young Somalilanders together across places and disciplines to share ideas, grow together and act on what matters to our communities.
From Somaliland to the world
Why YouVate exists
A connection should lead somewhere.
We believe young people can shape what comes next when they have the space to meet, learn and work together.
YouVate creates room for Somalilanders at home and around the world to exchange experience, turn ideas into action and contribute to the communities they care about.
Our approach
Meet. Share. Build.
A simple idea guides our work: meaningful relationships make meaningful action possible.
Share what you know
Learn from different experiences, skills and perspectives.
Build together
Find ways to put those connections to work for the community.
