ECW Youth and Student Sub-group

Education Cannot Wait (ECW) is the global fund for education in emergencies. Its civil society constituency includes a protected sub-group for youth-led and student-led organisations, coordinated through the 100 Million campaign, which gives young people a direct say in how ECW operates, including where funding goes and the policies it sets.

What you get:

• A formal voice in ECW governance through an elected representative
• A vote in electing the sub-group's representative organisation
• ECW meeting documentation in advance
• A channel to make recommendations on ECW funding decisions and policies
• Standing to run for the representative seat if your organisation works on education in emergencies

What you'll do:

• Join the sub-group as an organisation via the online form
• Participate in sub-group consultations and elections
• Feed input to the elected representative ahead of ECW governance meetings

• Open to youth-led and student-led organisations of any size
• The organisation's work must involve education or emergencies, or it must be based in an emergency context
• Corporate and for-profit entities cannot join
• Individuals cannot be members; membership is for organisations only
• Legal or formal registration is not required
• No membership fees detected
