The Migration Youth and Children Platform (MYCP) is a youth-led initiative committed to empowering young changemakers to address pressing global issues. Focused on uplifting the voices and actions of youth, MYCP provides platforms, resources, and funding to support impactful, community-driven work. The organization believes in nurturing innovative, bold, and inclusive solutions from young leaders who bring lived experiences to the forefront. By fostering collaboration and capacity building, MYCP strengthens the work of young activists and organizations, particularly those engaged in the areas of gender justice, health, climate mobility, and the rights of displaced persons. Their commitment lies in amplifying youth-led efforts to create lasting, meaningful impact in communities that need it most. MYCP also understands the importance of internal team well-being and supports initiatives that promote mental health and emotional resilience among changemakers. Geared toward global outreach, the platform prioritizes work in regions such as Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, South West Asia, North Africa (MENA), and Asia-Pacific. MYCP believes in equitable opportunities for all, ensuring support reaches groups and individuals with limited access to mainstream funding. With a strong emphasis on authenticity, creativity, and local relevance, MYCP serves as a catalyst for grassroots transformation powered by young leaders.

The MYCP Igniting Impact Micro-Grants Programme 2025 aims to support youth-led groups and organizations making meaningful change in their communities. Designed to address small funding gaps in impactful projects, this grant empowers young leaders to continue or expand their work in gender justice, climate mobility, health access, and support for displaced persons. Whether it’s a grassroots campaign, legal aid for refugees, sustainable job training, or mental health support for team members, MYCP provides flexible funding that meets real needs on the ground.

Grants range from €500 to €750 and are intended for community interest companies (CICs), nonprofits, and active unregistered youth-led groups. In addition to advancing direct project goals, the funds may be used to support internal team well-being and resilience, recognizing that strong teams drive stronger impact. MYCP prioritizes projects with a clear vision, community involvement, and a proven record of work, rather than entirely new ventures.

Applicants are encouraged to think creatively and boldly—MYCP values fresh ideas and original storytelling. AI-generated applications are discouraged, with preference given to authentic voices. All applications must be submitted in English and fully completed for consideration. This grant reflects MYCP’s broader mission to support grassroots solutions that are both realistic and transformative.
