Making this world a better place with and for young people through sYSTEMS innovation and entrepreneurship.

GOING BEYOND TRADITIONAL EDUCATION WITH EXPERIENTIAL, ACTIVE LEARNING PROGRAMS

aligning COMMUNITY-BASED, LOCAL projects of young innovators and entrepreneurs to the united nations sustainable development goals.

Gooddler Foundation is a collective of young leaders guided by the belief that each of us has the responsibility to make the world a better place. As a united force, we channel the unstoppable energy and power of youth, nurturing fellowship, character development, and powerful collaboration, sparking innovation and activism.

We believe that youth has all the power to make this world a better place. Our commitment is to support them on their journeys of self-discovery and to ignite the spark within that would inspire them to take responsibility for their communities. Together, hand-in-hand, we can create a better world.

Our goal is to empower young women and men around the world to become change makers, Systems Leaders, able to address the complexity of challenges in the age of uncertainty.

Our work is based on advanced and innovative methodologies, designed by world-renown scholars and practitioners, and modified to be accessible to youth.

Our programs offer hands-on, experiential learning, combined with leadership development. We focus on projects that address community-identified needs and use system-based approaches, fit to tackle complex social problems. We make an effort to engage marginalized communities and bring them upfront in the process. All learning is done in an inclusive learning environment.

Gooddler Foundation is a non-profit organization that was established in order to create a resourceful networking platform for young people to grow with the desire to contribute to common good and inspire them to become a part of solutions to the most pressing global issues. We are a group of research-based practitioners, strengthening access to cutting-edge evidence-based non-formal, vocational and tertiary education opportunities for youth through building strategic alliances with academic, corporate and civic game changers and youth to design and deliver the best quality, easily adaptable and scalable programs that achieve measurable impact.

Gooddler Foundation co-designs and co-delivers programs that serve as interventions to support the development of enterprises that specifically aim at poverty reduction and inclusive growth. In the process we engage with policymakers, academia, non-profit and private sectors to help to identify systemic barriers and promote strategies that enable social enterprises to flourish.

We promote a multi-stakeholder engagement, recognizing the important role of national and local governments, the UN system, civil society, private sector, regional institutions, foundations, academia, media and most importantly youth in creating greater economic opportunities. This philosophy guides us and serves as a basis for educational programs we run that target young people in US and globally.  

Gooddler Foundation  focuses on how young leaders could use innovation and technology to tackle development challenges. Using the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)  as an entry point, the Foundation aims to take up social entrepreneurship as an avenue for driven young leaders to solve global issues.

Gooddler, which has been a member of the Global Compact for Young People in Humanitarian Action, United Nations led initiative, since the World Humanitarian Summit, has been promoting and protecting the rights of young people and working in partnership with them to deliver a world where every young person’s potential is fulfilled.
