Who we are
The Youth Economy Lab (YEL) is a global non-profit dedicated to providing inclusive opportunities in economics and finance through workshops, guest speaker sessions, lectures, and research opportunities for high school and university students worldwide. Our goal is to transform learning into meaningful social impact by empowering rural and underprivileged communities.
Through free, open-to-all events, we remove the financial and skill barriers that often limit access to quality learning opportunities. Rather than functioning as a traditional student club, we focus on professor mentorship, curated resources, rewarding events, and building a strong global network that provides students with meaningful opportunities and incentives to grow.
Some of our global achievements include:
-
3,500+ active members
-
Members from 73 countries
-
70+ chapters across the US, India, and the UK
-
6,000+ social media followers
-
