32 Social Businesses for Youth

From Hip-Hop Social Enterprises to Education-Giving T-Shirts

This collection of social businesses for youth spans giving consideration to young people as both a means and an end. For instance, GeboMana sends a child to school for every t-shirt that's sold. And the Global Block Foundation focuses on personal sustainability for marginalized black youth. Investing in youth through charity or empowering services is the name of the game for the social entrepreneurs featured here.

It's an overused saying that "youth are the leaders of tomorrow," because, sometimes, youth are the leaders of today. From socially aware street wear to safe neon clothing and cuddly comfort donations, this SocialBusiness.org top list of social businesses for youth will give you something to think about whether you're a young person, have kids or simply care about what's going on in the world around you.
