Introduction:
Program Details:

The fifth edition of Misk Initiatives Incubator aims to support and scale youth-led non-profit

initiatives, guiding them through an 11-week journey that combines mentorship, technical support, and funding to help them register as official non-profit organizations.

The program targets youth-led non-profit initiatives specializing in culture and heritage, technology, environment, well-being in addition to youth development and volunteering

The journey includes an intensive curriculum covering nine key areas, including: defining the organization's mission, understanding beneficiaries, developing value propositions, managing development projects, Measuring impact, and financial sustainability planning. The program concludes with a final Pitch Day, where participants present their initiatives.

The program will be delivered in person for initiatives based in Riyadh, and virtually for those located outside the city.
