Vodafone's Ireland division has invested ?400,000 in Young Social Innovators, a programme aimed at fostering creativity and innovation among young people between the ages of 16 and 24.
The partnership involves a three-year commitment from Vodafone Ireland, led by the Vodafone Ireland Foundation, to make Young Social Innovators accessible to all 16-24-year-olds in Ireland.
Vodafone Ireland has pledged more than ?400,000 in funding to Young Social Innovators (YSI) in the first year, as well as committed to a programme which will utilise Vodafone's 35 retail stores, more than 1,100 employees, its technology, brand power and expertise.
The YSI Social Innovation programme is now implemented in more than 200 secondary schools annually in Ireland and supports students through the process of identifying local issues and working together to affect positive change in their communities.
