The YouthInk Pioneer Program (TYPP)

A globe showing parts of North and Central America, with the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean visible.

YouthInk has reached 12 countries so far!

The Youthink Pioneer Program (TYPP) recognizes students who are not native english speakers and have served as trailblazers for the Youthink Initiative. Whether by launching a new 'Topics' section or becoming the first in their country to publish on this platform, these pioneers help shape and expand our ever-growing community. This program celebrates their contributions and inspires others to push boundaries within Youthink.
