The Asian Environmental Youth Network (AEYN) Mentorship Program connects young people from Asia who are interested in climate and environmental issues with mentors who can support them in developing their professional, educational, and climate activism goals. The programme aims to build a supportive community that enables young people to pursue careers in the climate and environmental sectors, better understand green jobs and career pathways, and benefit from the experience and guidance of mentors.
