Development action with informed and engaged societies
The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Youth Venture Grant

0 comments

Socially conscious young people from the United States between the ages of 12 and 20 years old are encouraged to apply for micro-grants of
up to US$1,000 from the Youth Service America (YSA) Youth Venture Program to create sustainable social ventures. Ventures must be youth-led and designed to be a lasting, sustainable asset to the community. Example possibilities include: a youth centre designed to keep youth out of trouble with music and art programmes, an anti-peer pressure education campaign, a bike repair shop with a vocational training programme, or an assembly programme touring inner city schools combining music with anti-drug/violence performances.

Youth Venture is working to build a network of young change makers around the world. Youth Venture
provides coaching, resources, and seed funding for young people ages
12-20 to create, launch, and lead sustainable community-benefiting
ventures.
