What is YSI Fun-raising?

It’s about raising awareness and raising funds at the same time. When you do one of these things, you have a unique opportunity of doing  both. Participants in the YSI programme often raise funds as part of their YSI project to support charities and organisations that support those affected by the social issues under investigation by YSI project teams.

You too can join the YSI Fun-raising Challenge by raising funds and awareness for your YSI project or YSI in general. The Fun-raising activities that are the most creative and most successful at raising both awareness and funds will be selected for the Fun-Raising Challenge Award
