Community! Join us tomorrow as we launch the Global Youth Energy Outlook in partnership with Enel Foundation! 🥳 The GYEO is the first research project of its kind to engage over 40,000 young people ages 18 to 30 & share their perspectives on energy 📲 bit.ly/launch-gyeo


The Global Youth Energy Outlook Report is live now ⚡️ We begin with Student Energy's Executive Director, Helen Watts introducing the research project, how the idea behind the Outlook came about - centred on youth, and the big milestones in the making of the report 🙌

"Thank you to our GYEO partners. They are a testament on how to support youth the right way - coming in for advice, mentorship, resources, and really valuing the work - actors taking youth seriously, seeing them as partners, not just as beneficiaries." - Helen Watts #SEOutlook

CCA is at the youthenergysummit in Nairobi, Kenya! Come find us at #YES23 at booth Y24 to say hi, learn about #youth in #CleanCooking, and enter our giveaway for a chance to win a prize. See you there!

CCA's Gathoni Kimani speaks at the youthenergysummit on the imperative of Africa's youth #energy visionaries. Her message: Be fired up for your purpose, and show up authentically as yourself. That's how you can make an impact in the #energy sector. #YES23 #AEF23


“We need to build an enabling environment for youth to learn, understand, & develop passion for the clean cooking sector.” - Kakembo Brian, Executive Director of Waste to Energy Youth Project (WEYEug) Read about his #CleanCooking journey in a new #Youth Leadership Series article 👉 ow.ly/htJj50OOcwC

“Something I learned from the Student Energy Fellowship was the importance of mentorship — you need to vet your mentors as much as they might be vetting you, & take the time and energy to cultivate that relationship” Cherop Soy sharing her learnings & story youthenergysummit


RMI also connected with two women Student Energy leading the transformation of the energy sector, and taking thousands along. 🙌 At last year's #YES23 and Sustainable Energy for All | #SDG7BeBold Forum, they connected with Raul on early career development and investing in Africa. ⤵️ bit.ly/3qKV4oH
