Ashoka's Changemakers and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation are hosting a global competition to find the most innovative approaches to supporting young men at risk between the ages of 15-25, in realizing their great potential and reaching a successful and healthy adulthood. Young men today suffer from the societal ills of gangs, addiction, crime, violence, accidental deaths, and increasingly, mental health problems.

“Young Men at Risk: Transforming the Power of a Generation” seeks to collect groundbreaking approaches to addressing these challenges and to sponsor informed debate and comment on work being done to help young men thrive. The competition will award funding for the most innovative work in fields from music to mental health to support the expansion of their impact on a generation of young men.
