Youth-led Green Innovation Labs: youth innovation that is local, inclusive and a force for climate action and social change.
Monica Caminiti is the Sr. Director of Save the Children’s Skills to Succeed (S2S) Program. S2S operates in 7 countries to help adolescents and youth who experience the most marginalization gain the skills, opportunities and networks they need to succeed in education, or obtain and retain decent employment. Since 2023 the S2S program is championing youth-led green innovation in 7 countries, with a focus on including women, youth with disabilities and LGTBQ+ identifying youth. Monica is passionate about helping young people pursue their dreams, young women’s economic empowerment, and the inclusion of young people with disabilities. She believes that young people are the most powerful force for environmental and social change if given the space and support they need to bring their ideas to life.
