Connect with organizations who share your goals
There are many passionate organizations working to mobilize youth, but most work in isolation, often targeting the same audiences. By joining forces, our voices become stronger to advocate for our issues, attract greater support—financial, policy recognition and otherwise—and reach more youth. United, we are providing unprecedented value for the youth movement and also for our respective organizations.

A direct line to youth and key stakeholders.
Overcome the social noise by working together to get your messages seen and heard by your target audiences. The BTG Alliance provides public-private stakeholders a gateway to connect with youth-focused organizations like yourself, to recognize the importance of our collective issues and learn how best to get involved. Through collaboration, we can increase our presence and reach new levels of awareness, engagement and action.
Youth insights straight from the source.
BTG Alliance partners provide a direct channel to youth with established expertise on the issues stakeholders seek to target. Rather than conducting independent research, enlisting survey panels and/or running isolated campaigns, public-private stakeholders will have greater impact (and higher quality insights) by going straight to the source. By forging these partnerships, we can increase your access to resources and create a platform for youth-focused organizations—and those interested in youth issues—to expand their influence.
New referrals and partnerships.
The BTG Alliance supports partners in forming multi-sector collaborations—liaising between stakeholders—and promoting your initiatives to new sponsors, brands, community partners and program participants. Receive tickets and speaker invitations to profile your leadership at BTG Forums, and strengthen your network reach to recruit more active young champions for your cause.
