Toolkit on Youth Eco-Entrepreneurship: Set-up Eco-Conscious Businesses and Community Initiatives
Young people drive 70% of social entrepreneurship startups—but lack resources to scale their ideas. Our “Toolkit on Youth Eco-Entrepreneurship” bridges this gap, as it is tailored to young people aspiring to establish their own eco-focused NGOs and youth workers supporting these initiatives.
It offers a step-by-step guide to NGO setup, with help and links to navigate legal and administrative processes in Estonia, Ireland, Portugal, and Romania.
It also covers essential skills like fundraising, community engagement, and event planning, alongside guidance on digital tools for management, marketing, and outreach. Complemented by workshop outlines on soft skills such as empathy, communication, and networking, this toolkit equips young entrepreneurs and youth workers with the knowledge and support to create impactful, sustainable organisations.
