About GOYN
The Global Opportunity Youth Network is a multi-stakeholder initiative committed to creating place-based systems shifts for youth economic opportunity. TRIF is anchoring the initiative in two Aspirational Districts-Ramgarh in Jharkhand and Barwani in MP-to work to create economic mobility for “Opportunity Youth”-young people aged 15-29 who are out of school, unemployed, or working in informal jobs (NEET segment). The approach focuses on multi-sector collaboration and participatory solution design with an emphasis on equity, systems-level change, and amplifying the voices of youth.
